Failed to Start Lightdm[SOLVED]

Hi !!

I have recently downloaded arch linux  and instead of kde suggested sddm I like lightdm
but problem is it does not start up

This were the things I installed

sudo pacman -S lightdm-webkit2-greeter lightdm
yay -S lightdm-webkit-theme-aether

I also edited the lightdm.conf file and set the greeter session to lightdm-webkit2-greeter
and also I set the lightdm-webki2-greeter to aether using command

 # Set default lightdm-webkit2-greeter theme to Aether
sudo sed -i 's/^webkit_theme\s*=\s*\(.*\)/webkit_theme = lightdm-webkit-theme-aether #\1/g' /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf

That's pretty much it
It should have worked while I reboot but no it shows

Failed to start lightdm even though I enabled it using systemctl

Did something like this happened with anyone of you guys
Please let me know
Have a great day
