(Solved) lightdm crashes on boot

1JsudoCR · 2020-07-02 22:26:30

I just installed arch linux and booted a few times. I installed lightdm and after some troubleshooting got it to work. after a few hours on awesome wm i logged out and when I returned later lightdm would freeze with a black screen being displayed. I have searched a lot of forums and troubleshooting guides but nothing has worked. My machine is AMD based and has a Geforce GTX 1660 Super graphics card.

update. it is the drivers. if I run it on vesa it is fine but when updated to nvidia it crashes. also I want the nvidia drivers to play games

Please post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log from when lightdm fails.

thank you loqs for responding. however I have discovered the problem. The nouveax driver for xserver was causing the crash. the answer is to either run vesa if you are ok with average or poor graphics, or to make sure you install the proper nvidia drivers.
