[manjaro-dev] lightdm issues was re: help needed with gnome's dconf settings

[kendell clark]

hi
 I believe I might've fixed the dconf issues, uploading a new
sonar-gnome settings package to the repos to test. Now I've hit another
snag, although this is not with our gnome image so I'll change the
subject. I've been trying to change to lightdm for a few weeks now on
our mate image. However, when I switch to lightdm both in the package
list and in  profile.conf, the image won't boot to the desktop. Checking
systemd the error I get is that two programs are trying to access
org.freedesktop.displaymanager, but I can't find what other than
lightdm. There's a manjaro forum post on this but no solution. If I
install lightdm onto my system and switch to it it works fine, so I'm
stumped. Does anyone have any ideas? I've checked and all remnants of
gdm are gone, so that can't be it. I'm confused.
Thanks
