[Solved] user cannot log in to graphical environment after pacman
A few hours ago, I ran `sudo pacman -Syu`, after which, I rebooted and was unable to log back in.
Latest boot journalctl: https://termbin.com/637g
Lightdm.log: https://termbin.com/qtnu
pacman.log (last 5k lines, as otherwise it's too long): https://termbin.com/nk42
Xorg.0.log: https://termbin.com/0ovq
There are no errors I can spot of importance in either lightdm.log nor journalctl, and I have attempted the following fixes:
- Running pacman -Syu again
- Reinstalling lightdm
- Removing xauthority
- Running mkinitcpio -P
- Rebooting (a lot)
I am unable to log in as my main user (except for in a terminal session), but all other uses are able to login without trouble.
When the login details are put in, the monitor turns off for approx 0.5s, then goes to a terminal window, then back to the login screen, as if you just rebooted.

Re: [Solved] user cannot log in to graphical environment after pacman
OK, so if I'm interpreting correctly, I should be appending my /etc/profile to the .bash_profile file since lightdm has changed where it's looking?
Edit: Nope, didn't work
Double edit: Fixed it!
Steps to fix:
Append your /etc/profile to .bash_profile (cat /etc/profile >> .bash_profile)
Comment out commands at the start of the file (in my case I had a script in this file that was failing to launch, so for god knows what reason, that means that the entire dm doesn't launch)
Fixed!

Good god. Don't!
--login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ˜/.bash_profile, ˜/.bash_login, and ˜/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.
Please post your ~/.bash* stuff
