[SOLVED] "Oh no something has gone wrong" screen after boot

After booting, instead of gdm's login screen, I see the "Something has gone wrong, contact a system administrator" screen. I can access tty2 fine.

I've already tried reinstalling nvidia-dksm, gnome-shell, and gdm and disabled gnome extensions with gsettings, restarting gdm.service, and removing xorg.conf but there hasn't been any change.

I have gnome-shell 44.4 and nvidia-dkms 535.104.05-1 and RTX 2080 super and 2 monitors.

Logs:
Xorg.0.log
journalctl -b
pacman -Q
dmesg
systemctl status gdm

Re: [SOLVED] "Oh no something has gone wrong" screen after boot

xorg log is from yesterday, failed startx approach because

[    68.024] (EE) parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)

This isn't a problem in the journal from today

Re: [SOLVED] "Oh no something has gone wrong" screen after boot

Sorry about the delay:

pacman -Qikk gnome-settings daemon

Edit: reinstalling gnome-settings-daemon seems to have fixed it. Thanks!
For future reference, I caused this by deleting /etc/xdg/autostart/ accidentally when trying to remove one file due to another bug. That was pretty stupid.
