lightdm sometimes doesn't start and xorg no screens found(EE)

Hello, I am having a little problem and it is that sometimes lightdm doesn't start and I can't find why:
Although I can do systemctl start lightdm without any problem

systemctl status lightdm

lightdm.service - Light Display Manager
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2021-04-02 17:24:51 CEST; 38s ago
     Docs: man:lightdm(1)
     Process: 439 ExecStart=/usr/bin/lightdm (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
     Main PID: 439 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

     lightdm.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5.
     Stopped Light Display Manager.
     lightdm.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
     lightdm.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
     Failed to start Light Display Manager.

The xorg log:

I have already installed the amdgpu video driver

Also see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … _KMS_start to avoid the late drm readiness.
