lightdm-webkit-greeter not logging in
I just recently installed Arch on this old Dell Optiplex GX150, Pentium 3, with 512M RAM. Everything seems to work okay, and I was able to login until I installed lightdm-webkit-greeter. lightdm-gtk-greeter works just fine, but when I set default to lightdm-webkit-greeter and attempt login, it gets stuck at "logging in..." and won't do anything else.

Re: lightdm-webkit-greeter not logging in
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. It's OK to login with gtk-greeter, but with webkit-greeter I can select an account entering my password but after nothing happen.

Re: lightdm-webkit-greeter not logging in
I've finally found the solution in comment of the package lightdm-webkit-greeter on AUR :
If you wanna fix the login problem, check the folder /usr/share/xsessions/, mine has 2 files, one is xfce.desktop.
Now, on /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, change #user-session=default to user-session=xfce (remove # and change default to your existing xsession)
Everything works fine for me now.
