i have removed KDE and installed LXDE, but LXDM don't start. I have the consol as first session, there i can login and starting LXDM (systemctl start lxdm.service), and there i can login in LXDE.
I don't no what can i do. I am new with Arch.
lxdm.service is enabled (systemctl enable lxdm.service) but is dead...
Can i remove some config.files and generet new ones? or maybe is something wrong after removing KDE, some important files dissappear?

LXDM is kinda broken. Have you tried using something else, like slim?

I have the same problem, manually i can start slim, but he don't want to start automatic.
I see there after the system name Arch... TTY1 and until i want to write in my password some processes works, something like system busy. Scan for ""...

You will need to disable lxdm.service, or else remove /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service manually. before you can enable slim.service. As far as I know, all display managers conflict with each other in this manner.

Did you get the same error when you enabled lxdm.service? Then lxdm was not enabled. The enable command should symlink display-manager.service to the DM of your choice, but without --force, it will not overwrite existing symlinks. An alternative to using --force is to disable the previous DM first, as you tried here with lxdm, but I guess you never disabled kdm.service when you removed KDE.
You can check with
$ systemctl status display-manager.service
(or look at the symlink itself) but as long as you supply the --force flag, enabling a new DM should succeed.
Edit (slightly offtopic):

Too bad that doesn't explain why LXDM is considered broken (there was something about vt1/vt7 in a recent update, but that didn't seem like a big deal). I haven't had any problems with it (unlike LightDM) and slim is just a little spartan.

As far as I am aware there is a minor err when using automatic login with lxdm - there is a workaround available, I believe. Otherwise it is stable and fully functional.
The switch to tty1 is common to both lightdm and lxdm in their recent updates - at a guess the rest (gdm / slim / kdm) etc will follow suit soon.

Now its OK
the --force flag was the solution, because i have no stop the service before i removed KDE.
Thanks for everybody
...but now i have a new question, maybe is off-topic, but i have removed KDE because the desktop was unstable (sometimes the internet not start , other times, de icons works not) Maybe is an right/authority/access problem, because now with LXDE i have the same problem. If the internet start ( i use wifi with Wicd) the icons works no more, i can't do anything, but if the internet connection don't work automaticaly, i can use my shortcuts. For example now, my shortcuts works after booting the system, but i musted start the internet via terminal with wifi-menu...
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.
