I have the same problem described here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D395327 It hangs with this from /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log: DEBUG: Waiting for ready signal from X server :0 It does this on 2 of my systems but succeeds on the other. The next lines on the successful system are: DEBUG: Acquired bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager DEBUG: Registering seat with bus path /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 The fix described in the bug is to add dbus to use in /etc/init.d/xdm but dbus is already in there. dbus is currently started on all 3 systems. Any ideas? - Grant
