Lightdm Testing Fails

Hello!
I'm trying to set my display manager from gnome to lightdm. I've installed lightdm, lightdm-gtk-greeter, changed my lightdm.conf, and installed xorg-server-xephyr. I'm not getting positive results from running the test, and I'm afraid if I'll enable lightdm I won't be able to login.

Here are the results of the test:

I can see where the problem starts, but I still don't understand it. I'm seeing a lot of "no such file or directory" and "permission denied". It looks like something is missing. Did I miss anything?
