Hi there,
I found a bug but I'm not sure if it's there on the upstream or is it of
the antergos team doing so I'll be sending them the same email as well.

I didn't know where to report the bug so....

ok,

When I first installed the system I logged in without any problem, but
after setting up my desktop and rebooting, lightdm wouldn't accept my
password.

Hold on I'm not done yet :)

I troubleshooted the issue and managed to get to the bottom of the problem.

As an Arab, I use both Arabic and English keyboard layouts, and after doing
so, the problem appears. it turned out that lightdm would use the Arabic
layout as a default, Even though in gnome it's set as a secondary layout.

I changed the order of layouts and voila lightdm works like a charm.

now either lightdm should get a keyboard layout switcher; or it need to
read the keyboard layout correctly.

keep up the good work,
thanks
