did you have a chance to take a peek at the logs? i would recommend a grep "lightdm" on that. there might be some useful information.

it says strange things about sessions being closed at the end. did you try to do this by other ways than lightdm?
also it recommends .xsession-errors do we have something there?

oh yeas i do have xsession error files also maybe this doesn work because i have xfce4-sesion as session in light.conf but my session IS xfce4-session but i have i3 as WM instead of xfwm

also i cannot seem to poweroff my pc throught xfce4-session-logout its all greyed out could this be related ?

i recently uninstalled consolekit all systemd dependencies and from that time i cannot

well here is that log i cannot paste it here or to pastebin or something like that because its too long

well if you read the logs you would see a lot of these:
Code:
(wrapper-2.0:4760): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:23:04.160: Failed to parse /home/picarica/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini: Key file does not have group “Settings”


although i am now over asked how that works. my simple mind would say you have to add that files group owner to Settings. but as i have not seen this message before i just say nothing and let others to think about it.
