I'm experiencing GDM issues since I upgraded to gnome 3.8.1 (from official repos). If the laptop is booted in graphical runlevel it simply hangs on booting GDM and I can't even change to another terminal. If I change the runlevel to multi-user via grub I find that the Xorg and GDM logs don't contain any errors. If I run gdm via it's bin file from terminal that terminal freezes (gdm doesn't start) but I'm able to change terminals. Even in this case the logs are clean of errors. I'm clueless on what do do next. I appreciate your help.

Try switching other login managers. There are awful lot of variables to look for currently with lot people have different setups in last 2 days.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've just tried slim. It runs normally but now gnome won't run. I've noticed this error in the terminal:
dconf-CRITICAL: unable to create directory '/run/user/0/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.
This makes no sense what so ever since the only thing I did was power on my laptop call pacman -Syu and reboot. Than all this started...
EDIT
Ignore the dconf error enabling slim on boot and rebooting solved that issue. I can login to gnome through slim now. Thanks for your help. Marking this as solved (sort of).
