Failed to start lightdm. service

The screen is showing when I start my laptop. Os - Solus ( Budgie ) latest. What should I do now? I added a picture of my screen here --

Try
sudo systemctl enable --force lightdm.service

EDIT: Also, have you removed any packages lately?

SethStorm666 Yesterday I tried to customize the lock screen maybe I deleted some 🙂

Update : I was Impatient so I just set up a new os. Wasn't a big deal cause I had backup.

as in your other thread
The lock screen is not the login screen

Just to be sure. What are you talking about?
The login screen (after booting to log into the graphic system) or the lock screen (screen is locked)?

mkl The login screen I guess. Sorry for not able to explain what I wanted I made a mess and had to reinstall Solus.

The last person that had this issue was able to fix it by switching to TTY3 (CTRL+ALT+F3), then first running sudo eopkg up (in case there are unapplied updates) and the sudo usysconf run -f (to force usysconf to run all it's triggers)

for some unknown reasons, my system doesn't start, after do an update via discover. "lightdm.service" could not start. After a quick search at this forum, I found this thread. The post with sudo usysconf run -f was the key....
Now I am able to post this...

tresjam when lightdm dumps itself from the operating system, it's always, in my experiences, about 2-3 things including resetting panel, etc. I'm glad you found the usysconf helpful. I do not run this one enough when I troubleshoot and I really should.
congrats--
