[Solved] LightDM Failed to Start After Updates – Blinking Cursor

After updates I did on 02 Dec, I could not reboot to the desktop nor get a graphical login. There is a ‘Failed to start Light Display Manager’ error occasionally showing on boot and then an unresponsive blinking cursor. After I reboot I do not see the ‘Failed’ message again, and I can then at least get to a responsive cursor that allows me to log in to a tty terminal.

I have seen some other similar examples on the forum ( like perhaps https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259802 being the most extensive), both recent and older, but do not yet know how to interpret the logs that other posts have referenced in order to determine what went wrong. I looked at the LightDM wiki page at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … leshooting but am still not sure what may match my issue.

I did a fresh install back in the summer and had no bad issues until this update. Based on what I have seen in the forum, it has led me toward LightDM settings, or maybe a graphics driver problem? I use optimus-manager from the AUR to switch, but normally am in Intel mode only, and it was set to that when all this happened. I see some warnings and errors related to optimus-manager and GPU switching in ‘lightdm –-test-mode –debug’ – how could I check to see if that is part of my problem?

I tried downgrading the vf86-video-intel package to the previous version but it did not help, so I upgraded back.

I am posting some logs and information here to see if anyone can see places I might start to fix this. If this is too much of a scattershot of logs, I apologize, but I really have no idea what to try first and don’t want to make things worse if avoidable...

If there is anything else needed I am happy to provide it. I have today done the latest upgrades in order to stay current and also in hopes of getting lucky. I got the 5.9.13 kernel, newer nvidia drivers (455.45.01-1) and systemd, but I’m still having the same issue.

Thanks for any pointers or tips you can give, I’m not sure what to try next.

Re: [Solved] LightDM Failed to Start After Updates – Blinking Cursor

Your optimus-manager is broken due to the python 3.9 bump, rebuild optimus-manager. For in repo packages this is taken care of by the packagers, out of repo you should ensure you rebuild all the python packages you have from the AUR against the new python library.

This is a ~ yearly process, whenever there's a major python version bump.

Re: [Solved] LightDM Failed to Start After Updates – Blinking Cursor

Exactly right, V1del, thanks so much. I was getting so many error messages in the logs it would have taken quite a while to sort that out. The optimus-manager AUR page already had it fully documented, too. Thanks again!
