Problems with GDM

Hello, I have a problem with the GDM each time I boot the system, I have to press ALT + F4 to log in to the system otherwise it only appears a `_`. I run

 journalctl -u gdm 

to see what is the problem and outputs this

ago 29 22:30:51 gmm-arch systemd[1]: Starting GNOME Display Manager...
ago 29 22:30:51 gmm-arch systemd[1]: Started GNOME Display Manager.
ago 29 22:31:29 gmm-arch gdm-password][632]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file
ago 29 22:31:29 gmm-arch gdm-password][632]: pam_unix(gdm-password:session): session opened for user gmmacedo by (uid=0)

UPDATE I realize that moving the cursor also make the GDM to show

Re: Problems with GDM

That's likely the low entropy on boot issue, if your CPU supports it lscpu | grep rdrand gives you output, add

random.trust_cpu=on

to your kernel parameters, otherwise install and enable haveged.

If neither of these should be the case, post a full

sudo journalctl -b

I could not find where to put this

random.trust_cpu=on
