SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

I have a problem with lightdm after installing arch. For simplicity, I tried installing arch again and not installing anything extra. Now I have installed:

(via pacstrap):              base linux linux-firmware
(via pacman in chroot):      vim wpa_supplicant networkmanager
(via pacman in normal boot): ligthdm lightdm-gkt-greeter xfce4 xfce4-goodies

If I make only lightdm enabled (I tried restarting several times), lightdm will start. However, if you activate the NetworkManager and lightdm, then lightdm will not start.
And if I disable NetworkManager later, the situation will not change.

How can I solve this problem?

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

1. Remember the existence of journalctl.
2. Try a different greater to rule that out.

You mean to try another display manager?

Sorry for the typo. I mean a different lightdm greeter.

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

You've installed lightdm-gkt-greeter. Check the lightdm wiki article here on the arch wiki and try another greeter to rule out the gtk greeter. I haven't used lightdm in a while, but every time I did, some greeter acted up.

I do not understand what happened. I installed another greeter, it started, but when I tried to log in, there was some problem and after rebooting it did not boot. I commented out the line back in the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file (see the instructions from the wiki archa) and lightdm-gtk-greeter worked. I tried to restart several times and everything worked. True, if earlier systemd displayed a series of information and hung forever, now it is like this for a second, that is, lightdm starts, but not instantly. I think this is not scary.

But it looks very strange ... Maybe this is not always.
Maybe you know what happened and why it was fixed?

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

The previous message was erroneous. lightdm started to run, but as it turned out, not always and not always fast. Of 10 launches, only 3 started lightdm and then after 5 seconds.

Have you familiarized with journalctl yet?

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

There are a lot of things. The first thing that caught my eye. Maybe it's not at all.

Error getting user list from org.freedesctop.Accounts. ..... The name org.freedesctop.Accounts was not provided bu any .service files

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

That's meaningless. Post the journal.
Also afaik lightdm itself still logs to /var/log/lightdm, so have a look there as well.

Also post the output of "hostnamectl"

Use a pastebin client. See the tip box at the top of the topic: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients


How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

Is there something different with each of the nine boots contained in the journal you posted?

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

The last 8 have "lightdm.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'." the first one doesn't.
(Network manager is up before lightdm in the good one too, though)

Edit

It's because the X11 server crashes.
=> Cause a failing boot, reboot, but only into the multi-user.target (see link in signature) and post the xorg logs (see other link ;-)

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

Oh. I didn’t know that journalctl stores all starts. It makes sense to watch only the most recent launch. The first few were without graphical interfaces. Here is only the most recent launch.

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

Also this is a system with hybrid graphics and nouveau - how did you configure it?

If I understood correctly, then I had to start, see what the problem was, call systemctl set-default, restart the computer and show the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

If I disable NetworkManager log look like
https://pastebin.com/eDWRA7xr

I did not configure this system in any way. Although it is recommended to prescribe nouveau.modeset=0 for my computer. But I did nothing except installing the system (following the instructions from the wiki) and installing a couple of packages.

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

Then see the link I posted and configure it. That's not optional.
The difference is the availability of the nvidia chip when X11 starts, resp. which chip gets selected as main one.

Re: SOLVED lightdm doesn't launch at startup if NetworkManager is enabled

I add

 nouveau.modeset=0 

to grub; install

 pacman -S xf86-video-intel 

and now everything works (also added bbswitch to save energy). Thanks!!!
