Also why does the log belong to your user?
How do you start lightdm? What's the location of the log file?

I start lightdm using systemctl start lightdm (its already enabled)
Log file is in /home/ldf/.cache/lightdm/log

Oh yea! My bad its because I searched for the log and can only retrieve the text if I copy form nano via sudo...
here is correct log
timestamp

hope thats better

edit: if its not showing the failure info in the log, can you explain how to use the curl command? I tried the use the command I did: curl -f 'f:1=<-' ix.io < "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" and it says bad/illegal format or missing url then just says :TL;DR: curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io So I don't understand...

edit 2: going to bed if someone replies with clarification on the curl command I will post output when I wake up, thanks again

curl -f 'f:1=<-' ix.io < "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"

curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io < /var/log/Xorg.0.log

The parameters are case sensitive (as pretty much everything in any real OS is ;-)

-f, --fail          Fail silently (no output at all) on HTTP errors
-F, --form <name=content>

That's not the same.

The log still looks slightly dated (like 3.5h before you posted or so?)

Thats exactly whats in the folder though. Is there a way to force a log.

In /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf change

#logind-check-graphical=false

to

logind-check-graphical=true

Reboot and if lightdm fails please post updated Xorg.log and lightdm.log

Lightdm launches monitor now actually noted as DisplayPort-0 as it should according to xrandr. However my gpu is still saying ATI and not amdgpu

V1del · 2020-12-22 20:49:04

What are you looking at where it says that and why do you think that to be a problem?

According to other AMDGPU users their GPU always says AMDGPU and not ATI which they bought out like ages ago. I see this in xorg logs and in neofetch as well as steam system info...

EDIT: If it is not believed to be an issue that's fine I can mark post resolved.

It's likely that the PCI designation still includes an ATI string, what matters to you is whether it shows amdgpu as the used module in

lspci -k

Okay I'll mark resolved then, it shows in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf for sure that the moduie is amdgpu, and that's what matters.

The module being in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf is not an indicator that the module is actually being used by the kernel.

Then what would you recommend me checking

Slithery · 2020-12-22 22:29:09

The lsmod command?
