I switched from lightm to sddm but was greeted by the following message after boot-up: Xsession: unsupported number of arguments (5): falling back to default session. I desperately tried to click 'okay' but it refused to do anything. A switch to the terminal with Ctr+Alt+F1 and a dpkg-reconfigure lightm command later, my problem was 'solved' by re-enabling light-dm. I'm using auto log-on if that matters/helps.
