Blank Screen on bootup

[tuximail]

After a long time of usage with no problems today I experienced the following issue:

The greeter did not load on bootup. In /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log we could find:

file:///usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/glorious/js/authenticate.js:165:15: CONSOLE LOG Start authentication
Gdk-Message: 11:45:03.100: lightdm-webkit2-greeter: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.

To ensure it is a greeter Problem I temporarily changed the greeter to 'antergos' and now everything works fine at boot.

System

• Linux:
  5.9.13-arch1-1
• Software Versions: lightdm-webkit2-greeter 2.2.5-4 lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious 2.0.5-3 qt5-webkit 5.212.0alpha4-8 webkit2gtk 2.30.3-1
