[Solved] Problem with ly display manager

Hi everyone,
I set up arch linux (on T480) with sway and I was setting up the Display Manager. I changed DM, I passed from gdm to ly, I installed ly was following the guide. It work all but two thing:
1. When I reboot, appear this screen: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AqSV-p … sp=sharing.
2. When pc boots, ly's log in screen appears for any seconds, it disappears and immediately after reappear definitely and it ready to log in.
When I used gdm, these problems didn't appear. Are they caused by ly?

Ly is buggy with systemd sessions and you probably don't want to use it if you want to have a sane experience.

Re: [Solved] Problem with ly display manager

I'm using Ly from the AUR as well as systemd and I'm not having any problems what so ever. I've also used it on Debian with absolutely zero issue. Not to undermine other people's experiences, it's not going to be the same for everyone but it clearly works sometimes.
