[SOLVED] light-gtk-greeter not working

Hello everyone!
I am a newbie, and having a problem with my Arch install.

I have installed the lightgtk greeter, and the login process is fine, but when I'm done with the login process, it says "An error was detected in the current theme that could interfere with the system login process."
There are then 3 options: Load Current Theme, which basically reverts you back to the login screen. Load Fallback Theme, which puts you in a white empty space with a shutdown button in the top-left corner, and Cancel, which is just a black screen.

Now, I don't know if this is related or not, but on startup, a start job was running for 1m and 30 seconds that timed out, which then two repositories could not work.


Thank you, and have a great day!

Please post the output of

cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
# journalctl -b -u lightdm.service

See pastebin to post from the console.

If you intended to use the gtk greeter change or comment out the greeter-session entry in lightdm.conf

I cannot change the text when using nano, it says permission denied

The file is owned by root so you need superuser privileges to edit it.
