i3-gaps fails to start up with LightDM after updating

Hello everyone,

Recently I have had an issue with i3 and LightDM. After updating my system and rebooting (so I got on kernel 4.20 instead of 4.19), i3 no longer seemed to work. I normally use LightDM to start i3, and that is what I did. However, nothing happened, and my greeter just restarted. The only "error" I could find was something about ConsoleKit, which is supposedly deprecated and doesn't matter anyway. Trying to start i3 with startx works flawlessly and I am able to access a GUI. If someone could help, that would be nice. Thanks!

Output of lightdm -d and then trying to log in twice:

Re: i3-gaps fails to start up with LightDM after updating

Now .xsession-errors shows: 

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
dbus-update-activation-environment: error: unable to connect to D-Bus: Server address of type unix was missing argument path or abstract

seth, I am not sure if that is the issue I am having. I will try downgrading systemd and see if it solves the issue. However it does not mention i3 but just mentions stuff like xfce4 session manager so not sure if it will work.

Re: i3-gaps fails to start up with LightDM after updating

What do you mean, "now it shows"? What did you change? There's a known bug in the first version of flatpak 1.1.3, revert whatever change you did now, and update your entire system, the flatpak error should go away (and the lightdm error if you are still on an old enough version of systemd 240 that still had this issue).

Re: i3-gaps fails to start up with LightDM after updating

I didn’t change anything other than another pacman -Syu and reboot. Currently I’m away from the affected computer but I will try another upgrade once I can get to it. thanks

Edit: Updated again, now on kernel 4.20.3. Still doesn't work. .xsession-errors complains about not being able to find a bus:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
dbus-update-activation-environment: error: unable to connect to D-Bus: Server address of type unix was missing argument path or abstract

Re: i3-gaps fails to start up with LightDM after updating

My solution was remove all packages from "ConsoleKit" that was deprecated and a library related with "Console kit"
