Could you help me to do an useful debug in order to solve?
Hi,
aren't there gdm3 related log files in /var/log?
For lightdm I get several log files, for lightdm itself, for its greeter
and other. I would take a look at those files + the related Arch Wiki
first and if needed continue with Xorg.0.log, journalctl ...
