Hello,
I have installed on this computer my customized Archiso (with no special configurations). I have enabled kdm.service, but nothing happened. After reboot either.
I have now tried with LXDM, same thing. With "systemctl status" I usually get something like: "enabled, dead"
If I start kdm or lxdm manually, it works.
sudo systemctl start lxdm; sudo systemctl status lxdm
lxdm.service - LXDE Display Manager

Dmesg: http://pastie.org/private/8n97afoezf3urejz3qizeq
On some posts they mentioned that maybe nvidia or a module starts up too late, or the login managers too early.
Any tips/hints on what should I try?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

What does your /var/log/Xorg.log say?
If you want your nvidia module to be loaded earlier you can put it into MODULES="nvidia" in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild your initramfs with
# mkinitcpio -p linux.

Adding "nvidia" into mkinitcpio and rebuilding, did not change it.

At boot I can get:

On every system I install my custom archiso (basic install) the same thing happens, what am I missing?

Did you try changing default target to:
systemctl enable graphical.target

You mean editing default.target manually? If so, how?
PS: this error is on other machines with kdm and lxdm. On my computer I got the same thing (enabled but not started after boot) with sshd.

Disable multi-user.target first or use --force to overwrite the existing symlink.
To clarify: 'inactive' means it wasn't started at all or was stopped (clean exit), otherwise it would be 'failed'.

Hoooooly sckittens!

You're a life saver! Thank you! I owe you one (or a few)!

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
(though its weird that on my computer I did not need to do this [on mine both multi-user and graphical are disabled], only on other computers this problem ocurred [which now, solved, has graphical enabled])
