I have tried lightdm lxdm and currently i am trying to make kdm work, but i can't. The desktop environments however work properly(mostly?) . Everytime i try to run a display manger, the screen flashes and returns back to prompt. Lightdm terminates, lxdm hangs and kdm runs in the background, after hitting ctrl+c however i get back the command prompt. I am new to arch. Also adding a user results in wierd behaviour(i am assuming i added the users properly). The user gets added. But eventhough i add them to the wheel group they don't get sudoer access. I tried deleting the the user and succeded but when i again try to add the same user i get user already exists. When i try removing the user i get user does not exists.
Error in lxdm log

I do not know how to get kdm logs journalctl -u kdm doesn't display anything, but at some points journalctl does log that system-logind has failed.
Please let me know any other information that i need to provide to make this go away.

As for sudo, have you adapted the sudoers file ?
See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/sudo
As for your users, to better help it would be good to see the commands you used...
As for the display managers, I can't really tell currently. How did you start them ?
And maybe show the output of 'systemctl status systemd-logind'.
Edit: Do you actually have a user beside root? Maybe it just needs one.

ok! Edited the sudoer file to include wheel most of the problems now gone, except for the display manager. I again tried running kdm as root, this time got a blank screen. Posting kdm logs shortly.

Adding another user and reinstalling lightdm+gnome did the trick. Though gdm gave "Unable to give slave programs access to screen".
