I also had to restore from Back In Time (my home folder) because I still experienced the reported issues, and furthermore: Qt applications doesn’t get the system theme and Whisker menu was back to default style, and Firefox has double titlebars.
Well: I restored everything, but all the issues are still there
EDIT: whisker menu was back to my setting, at least.
In the today’s update there was also gtk3: I think that it was responsible in some way… But I restored all my home folder…
EDIT: another reboot, and again still automatically drop to tty; is like that ~/.xinitrc
is totally ignored, but I repeat: I restored everything from backups.
EDIT: also ~/.profile
is ignored: that’s because there I have export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
which is no longer applyed: this is the cause of the fact that QT applications doesn’t get the system theme.
EDIT, important: when I am in TTY, I can also do systemctl start lightdm.service
and in this way, the login greeter, obviously, will appears.
So seems that lightdm no longer automatically start.
but the very strange thing is that I restored everything from timeshift and back in time, but these issues are still there.
EDIT: I checked the Arch Wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LightDM#LightDM_does_not_appear_or_monitor_only_displays_TTY_output
I attempted to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
and to add logind-check-graphical=true
but doesn’t help.
EDIT: Obviously I tried to reinstall it (lightdm), as well as I tried to change the greeter from lightdm-webkit2-greeter to lightdm-gtk-greeter; nothing solves this issue: lightdm no longer starts on boot, despite the fact that I restore backups from timeshift and back in time: I am totally puzzled.
EDIT: Output of journalctl -b -1
(is too huge and I have to paste it elsewhere):
