After my last pacman -Syu, this greeter would fail to log me in. Typing in my password and pressing enter would yield nothing except an error dumped into /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log telling me: lightdm_greeter_authenticate: assertion 'priv->connected' failed.

Switching my greeter to lightdm-gtk-greeter fixed the issue. For reference, here are the packages that were upgraded from the aforementioned pacman -Syu (ripped from /var/log/pacman.log:

Hmm, that's weird. None of the updated packages should interfere with the login process neither to some backend web-greeter could use. Can you provide the full seat0-greeter log at /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log?

I got a similar error after my recent upgrade which appears to be related to the following when running lightdm --test-mode --debug:

[+0.42s] WARNING: Could not create user data directory /var/lib/lightdm-data/dadams: Error creating directory /var/lib/lightdm-data/dadams: Permission denied

despite having the correct directory and permission layouts. Switching back to lightdm-gtk-greeter also worked for me.
