LightDM Fails the start at boot

Ryudeki · 2021-03-06 18:28:14

Hi. I have a LightDM + bspwm installation. The issue is that I can't access desktop directly. Every time I boot Arch, a blank screen with a dash welcomes me and every time I have to go the TTY screen, restart the LightDM service, then everything works well.

Here is a output for journalctl:

Thanks, it seems my problem is solved with these.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
