Hi all,
after executing sudo pamac update and rebooting my machine, boot up ends with the message:
FAILED: Failed to start Light Display Manager Error
I already googled this error and cam to the following link:How to Fix - Failed to Start Light Display Manager Error [Solved] (debugpoint.com)
But when i execute
ligthdm --test-mode --debug
as described in the tutorial, i get different error messages than in the tutorial.
Here is my output (i can’t copy paste the console output because i am writing from another machine)
Do you have tipps for a linux beginner like me how to step by step get back to a working system ;-( ?
Best wishes
By the way: I prefer writing in german if this is possible.

Main rule: Don’t use pamac with sudo.
You do it as ordinary user when there are required root privileges. Run sudo ligthdm --test-mode --debug or login as root before execute ligthdm --test-mode --debug.
Did you try solutions from your link (also other solutions) – reinstalling packages shouldn’t make things worse, but may help.
Hi,
i now tried this from the tutorial:
For this guide, I am using Arch Linux, hence I ran the following to re-install the lightdm-gtk-greeter –
pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter
Then enable the systemd service for lightdm, just in case.
systemctl enable lightdm
And then reboot –
systemctl reboot
And also tried this
pacman -S xorg
But the System does not boot, i just see the ASUS Logo but don’t get from BIOS into Linux…
the output at the console shows no more errors but booting fails anyway.
i just see the ASUS logo at bootup but thats it ;-(
Please see my video (sorry for bad quality…left hand typing, right hand filming…and my bad english voice

i am totally helpless ;-(
OK, i will post it also in the german forum.
