[Solved] System hangs on boot when enabling GDM

I enabled GDM in my Arch VM and now it stops at "Starting Accounts Service".

If I chroot through the install medium and disable GDM the system will boot as it should.

Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Does GNOME start up if you use `exec gnome-session` in ~/.xinitrc instead?
