There is no commercial market for desktop linux GUIs, so all the options are hacked together by amateurs. They try their best and they mean well, but the results aren't suitable for daily use. The lightdm bug you're seeing is only one example of this.

The solution is to use a fully-integrated commercial system designed, built, and tested by qualified, experienced, well-paid professionals.

Maybe it was just a recent update.Anyway do you know how can I login back to my machine without using lightdm?
>>
>>57233865
Tty

So try control+alt+f1-f12 at login

>>57233891
It worked but I can't start x.org
>>
>>57234016
You need to put http:// in front of x.org

>>57233359
xkcd is such fucking garbage.

>>57234138
Cmon man,maybe if I uninstall lightdm I would be able to login trough terminal?
>>
>>57234192
Sigh... All you need to do in order to start x is, surprisingly, to type startx after logging in. Assuming you didn't brick xorg during an update it should just werk. Like >>57233891 said you can do ctrl+alt+<f1-6> to cycle through different tty. After that you can use whatever package manager you have to remove or reinstall lightdm. You can also do
systemctl status lightdm.service
to see if any error messages are present. You don't really need a display manager anyway, you can just type startx after logging in, or if you prefer, autostart it after logging in.

Install the patch that fixes that bug. Are you using an Antergos iso that you downloaded 2 weeks ago and didn't bother connecting to internet?

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
