[SOLVED] LightDM Doesn't work with KDE

So, I tried to run KDE with LightDM and It gave me a black screen (I did it using:
$ sudo lightdm
)
Installing Arch on a VM (had slower performance) showed me a message box that said:
"Could not sync environment to dbus"
My current solution is to use xinit, but I am getting tired of typing >startx every single time I Log in, since I am using Fish I can't just make it autorun.

LightDM works with KDE, you should however in any case use the systemd service to start it and not just randomly launch it outside of a systemd context, a lot of necessary stuff does not get run if you circumvent systemd for this.
