pam_systemd(lightdm: session) ... failure to create session [SOLVED]

Hi all. Not sure what is going on but it seems lightdm or something related to it is giving me some headaches. It is not creating a session and times out at boot, which breaks a bunch of things like ssh logins.

The first clue is this warning message from journalctl:

pam_systemd(lightdm: session): Failed to create session: Connection timed out

Running systemctl --user status results in this:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

Edit: I completely removed the systemd user directory from .config and restarted the system. I'm not sure what the problem was, I had an MPD, deluged and ssh-agent user service running. I suspect one of them was causing problems.

Yeah, that's the only thing I could find here on the forums but it doesn't seem to help any because I don't use profile sync daemon. The only user systemd thing I use is for MPD, maybe it's some kind of mpd issue?
