Problem with Login

I can't login I use ly as display manager

The log tells session opened for user nameX(uid=1000) by nameX (uid=0) and after that the same but with closed I don't know why

jun 05 21:13:22 zenbook ly-dm[33284]: pam_unix(ly:session): session opened for user oscar(uid=1000) by oscar(uid=0)
jun 05 21:13:22 zenbook ly-dm[33284]: pam_unix(ly:session): session closed for user oscar

** EDITED: I was able to start graphical interface without ly and can copy these logs

Re: Problem with Login

Most likely because the session script terminates immediately?
(Ie. the problem here isn't ly, for a change, but eg. startx or whatever you're automatically running after the login)

Re: Problem with Login

When I don't use a display manager to start it works correctly, but I want to use ly because is more comfortable

It becomes very important why ly is actually running and fwwi, ly systematically breaks the session integration/bus - I'm not sure how injecting a DM into the session start process makes things more comfortable, but you might generally want to look for an alternative.

Nevertheless, you'll have  to provide details your actual setup if you want this to go anywhere.

You want to use https://deepl.com - desperately.
Then post your ly config.ini and ly-session.log
