Hi all.
I have a Gentoo system ( with systemd) on my Thinkpad, where I used to
start Enlightenment .
Efter deinstalling it and installing Xfce4 I noticed that lightdm
refuses to start.
I thought I was some session configuration file that I forgot to tweak,
but after rechecking everything, I am still at a loss.
lightdm fails while manual start through "startxfce" works.
I checked te log file and it seems that it fails because it refuses to
start a new session while inside another session.
When I login, logind seems to create new session and if I start lightdm
within it, it fails. But it fails the same way even when started trough
systemd's service script ( manually with "systemctl isolate
graphical.target" - I haven't tried as using it for default boot target
as it stuck in endless restart cycle, which requires reboot and messing
around with bash to set default target to something that can be booted,
like multi-user.target).
Here is a snippet from log:
