No GUI login after software update

[ajr]

After software update at 2023-11-22, I'm unable to login via GUI.
I get the error message:

Code: Select all

Failed to start session
[code]
In /var/log/auth.log, I see:
[code]
Dec  6 16:17:24 some-host lightdm[1991]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file
Dec  6 16:17:24 some-host lightdm[1991]: gkr-pam: stashed password to try later in open session
[code]
Any help appreciated.

In /var/log/messages, I found:

Code: Select all

Nov 22 16:22:56 some-host pkg[2138]: libgnome-keyring-3.12.0_2 deinstalled
[code]
So I did:
[code]
pkg install libgnome-keyring
[code]
and rebooted.
It did not help. Same error message. In /var/log/auth.log, I get:
[code]
Dec  6 18:19:33 some-host lightdm[1780]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file
Dec  6 18:19:33 some-host lightdm[1780]: gkr-pam: gnome-keyring-daemon started properly

I would suggest running the following commands.
sudo pkg update -f
sudo pkg upgrade -yf

[ajr]

It did not resolve the issue.
Same error message at display and in auth.log

During upgrade, I saw this:

Code: Select all

[586/599] Extracting slick-greeter-1.6.0_1: 100%
:: Removing greeter configuration in /usr/local/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Thanks for responding.

If you disable lightdm and login and run startx do you get to the desktop?

[ajr]

?

No, no desktop. See attached screenshot.

[neville]

Have a look in messages and your xorg logs

cat /var/log/messages

And

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[neville]

Did you update by command line or with update-station?

[ajr]

Nothing related in logs.
Updated per update-station.

Remarkable:
# cd /usr/local/etc/lightdm
/usr/local/etc/lightdm: No such file or directory.

Sorry this was in a jail.
