XFCE4 + Pavucontrol + LightDM

Hi all,
I was using KDE + SDDM and everything worked fine but everything f***ed up after a normal system update using "pacman -Syu". So I decided to switch to XFCE + Lightdm and well... I followed the wiki, disabled sddm.service, enabled lightdm.service, installed the gtk greeter but still, it doesn't start automagically. It boot up to the famous terminal and I have to manually restart lightdm.service to have it working.

I also have some weird bugs with pulseaudio. I have a line out + a headset output and only the lineout is marked as plugged. I have to manually open pavucontrol and change the output to the headset one to have working audio (screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/OQWCGbh.png)

How can I fix those bugs?

Thanks

Post separate threads for separate problems next time. For the pulseaudio part refer to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1615012
