New install lightdm does not start

I've installed arch and not much past that point.  After troubles with lightdm I installed gnome and used 'systemctl enable gdm' and gdm worked after my reboot.  Anyway, more info on my lightdm problem.
Steps to install
pacman -S lightdm
pacman -S lightdm-gtk3-greeter
systemctl enable lightdm
reboot
Upon reboot screen flashes a couple of times and then stops.
I had installed xfce4 prior to this and made sure the xfce4.desktop file existed.  I've looked up other posts and I have not had look implementing their solutions.  Any ideas?

My Lightdm stopped working a few days ago after an update.

  • New Macbook Pro does not start up after updating...HELP!!!

    Hi,
    My new Macbook Pro does not start up after it got updated. The first time I used it, it was perfect. I updated it and restarted it when it told me to but it doesn't boot. It shows an apple and a spinning circle when it turns on but that's it.
    Can somebody please help me?

    You should probably post your question in the MacBook Pro discussions:

    Could also be a database connection issue.
    What database are you running?
    We've had an issue where the database (MSSQL) was hosted on a seperate server and where Windows Authentication was used. To resolve the issue, we had to change the Server Intelligence Agent (SIA) service to start with the Windows/domain account.

  • NEW IPHONE 3GS DOES NOT START

    I just got my new iphone 3gs yesterday and have not even had the time to have a nice look at it coz it just does not start.
    When I put the phone to charge the apple logo appears and after that just the sign of USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) appears and phone stops. I had it charged for more than four hours but I don’t see the battery charging status icon anywhere.
    When I press the ON switch on the top the same thing repeats itself meaning it gets stuck in the USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) sign. Totally confused and frustrated. Kindly assist. Lastly as i am new to the apple brand could anyone guide me towards the Software for the IPHONE 3GS i require to install on my desktop in order to sync,email etc.thanks for the advises in advance

    Obviously it's telling you that you need to connect your iphone to your itunes to activate it, otherwise it won't work.
    Firstly download itunes, under Downloads. then install then plug in your iphone, and follow the instructions to activate it. Then you should be set and start using the phone.

  • New ram - computer does not start up

    Hi all,
    I have a first gen iMac G5 (1.8 Ghz, 250 GB Hard drive, 1 G Ram). This RAM was installed:
    DIMM0/J4000:
    Size: 1 GB
    Type: DDR SDRAM
    Speed: PC2700U-25330
    Status: OK
    I wanted to upgrade to 2 GB, so I checked around, everywhere it says I should have PC3200 RAM sticks, even on the Apple website. Same at the store (a kind of mall specializing in Apple stuff), they sold me 2 GB of DDR SDRAM PC3200. When I installed them, the computer would start up but get stuck on the little gear wheel, until the screen went gray and a message appeared in 4 languages saying that I have to restart the computer.
    So then I put the old RAM stick back in, but same thing happens - computer would start up, get stuck on the little gear wheel, until the screen went gray and a message appeared in 4 languages saying that I have to restart the computer.
    Any ideas what I could do? Or did I kill the computer for good?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Hi again,
    so, after a bit of struggle (mainly with the hard drive casing), I managed to switch out the hard drive for a new one and installed the new ram. Everything seems to work fine so far. Only difference so far is that the fans don't seem to come nearly as much as before. Things seem warm, but not worrisome hot, so I wanted to check if these temps are ok or if I need to be concerned:
    HD 52C/126F
    CPU 65C/153F
    Hard Drive 49C/121F
    Both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior report no problems.
    If these temps are too high, how can I rev up the fans a bit?
    Thanks for the help!

  • Brand new macbook pro does not start up am i doing something wrong

    well i went to the apple store and baught a brand new core i7 17 inch macbook pro i am new to apple and this is my first time purchesing an apple product when i got it out of the box i plugged it in and let it charge before turning it on then i turned it on and it made a sound but then it comes up with a picture of a folder on a gray screen with a questionmark and there is like a clicking noise from inside am i missing something because i ave never used one before or is this not normal thanks

    The clicking suggests you got a unit with a bad hard drive. Bring it back and exchange it for a another new one.

  • IPhoto does not start up after upgrading

    On my new iMac iPhoto does not start up after migrating. Upgrade from iPhoto 6/Snow Leopard > Lion 10.7.1 with iPhoto 9.1.5. When the conversion is finished I can see the new library, it works allright. And with packet-inspection (or how is that called in English) all maps & data seems to be OK; I can check the seperate pics.
    But: iPhoto won't start up a second time (grey screen with infinite spinning wait cursor). The same thing is happening when I add a new library and drop in some pictures.
    What can cause this problem?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD

  • Game does not start after installing on mac pro

    Game does not start after new install on mac pro ?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

    You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite.  It is not listed on their system requirement website:
    Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
    Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6

  • My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

    I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

    I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
    Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
    This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.
