'Failed to start Light Display Manager'

Introduction removed

I'm having some trouble with xorg, 'startx' refused to work (I have xorg-server obviously). I read symlinks and configs that are meant to be present in /etc and /usr, and I can't detect anything abnormal. I have the non-proprietary xf86-video-intel drivers installed, and I don't think any config is required on those.

And of course, the PC won't boot directly into the OS now, with the message:

[FAILED] Failed to start Light Display Manager.
See 'systemctl status lightdm.service' for details.
[OK] Reached target Graphical Interface.

I have no way of typing into the console, and therefore logging on, when this error is present.
