lightdm is working fine, it's the greeter that is failing to start.
It is likely to be a driver issue, maybe you should look for more info it xorg logs and dmesg, then you can reassign to the correct package.
Slick-greeter is working fine here, using amd or nvidia hardware on f41, I wont be revisiting this report.

Comment 7 Joungmin Lee 2024-10-14 02:59:41 UTC
Sorry. My bad. This was due to the corrupted /etc/environment file having edited for some stuff.

Please discard this report. Thanks.
