Xorg launches to black screen instead of greeter. Fresh Arch install.

Hello, today I have been working to reinstall arch on my msi laptop. The base installation seemed to go smoothly, but I had problems after installing xorg and lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter. I installed xorg and the lightdm packages, added lightdm-gtk-greeter to the lightdm.conf greeter-session, and then enabled lightdm with systemctl. Then I reebooted and when I should have seen the greeter instead I just saw a black screen. I can escape the black screen with CTRL+ALT+F2 and return to the command line.

I am not sure what is causing this problem. Is it lightdm, xorg, or something else like nvidia drivers (I installed the nvidia proprietary drivers)? I am going to be adding a few different log files that may help.

lightdm.log:

Those are a few log files that seem helpful. If there are any others that I should post, let me know. Other than that, I also checked the status of lightdm using systemctl, and this was the output:

Any help would be appreciated, been confused about this for a while. I am using the same process I have used in the past (as far as I remember, only done it a couple times). Let me know if any more details are needed.

Thanks.

Re: Xorg launches to black screen instead of greeter. Fresh Arch install.

Did X work before you added the (unnecessary) complexity of a display manager?

Is this a hybrid graphics machine?

As I said in the post, I tested it with lightdm from the start.
I am not sure how to test this. If i disable lightdm and startx, the screen goes black for a moment then returns to the terminal and says the server terminated successfully.

The laptop does have hybrid graphics. A gtx 970m and intel 530.

So your problem, like many others here, is with lightdm...

So read the wiki and choose on of the methods for managing a hybrid graphics setup.

Re: Xorg launches to black screen instead of greeter. Fresh Arch install.

I faced to a similar issue on my new laptop - when I clicked on the lock screen button it showed just a black screen. I noticed that I am even able to unlock the screen by entering the password blindly and pressing enter.

The solution for this was installing X.org video driver (for me it was xf86-video-intel package).
