Hi, i had the same, its the webkit2gtk that breaks the greeter.
to fix this
Install downgrade, yaourt -S downgrade
then downgrade the package
sudo downgrade webkit2gtk
choose the version 2,
2.12.0.2 and if it asks to ignore answered y.
reboot, voila

Or simply install the old package from the cache with pacman -U. No need for a wrapper script.

perhaps swap the topic to "webkit2gtk breaks greeter / blank greeter" ?

Your welcome, actually me too but then checked /var/log/pacman.log and saw the latest updates were all webkits,
when tried pacman -U saw that the dependencies for webkit2gtk had greeter listed and downgraded it. I guess we can mark this resolved.

Maybe I misunderstood. What "greeter" are we talking about here?

Do you mean the lightdm greeter? (just reread your post, it is lightdm)
I had this problem, there's a bug filed on github that discusses it: https://github.com/Antergos/lightdm-web … /issues/36
As long as you haven't modified the lightdm greeter conf, or don't care about your changes, you can just do:
cp /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf.pacnew /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf

I take it everyone with this problem is using lightdm-webkit2-greeter from the AUR?
Moving to AUR Issues.

More likely is is an Antergos problem, since neither of the main people involved here could articulate what package they were using. And Sarai's link just says the problem is from people failing to merge pacnew files (user error).
