1 year ago I got the same problem in my multiseat config with 2 seats, to sad this issue didn't got any atentition.
Whe I restart my machine works fine, but if I restart lightDM service the seat0 doesn't get the ord.gnome.SessionManager, only seat1.
I don't know if is related, but I got this problem consistant, after install the nvidia proprietary drivers and KMS, however I cannot tell if any of this cause the issue I didn't tested enought with nouveau drivers, and I really tired of jumping drivers anyway kk.

I fix the problem following this, that line change makes actica work again, but for me showed the screen messed up, however I can login, but I changed the arctica to slick-greeter as the issue author did, I purged the arctica, intalled the slick-greeter, and worked.

Question
I have a multiseat setup with 4 seats on Ubuntu 20.04, set up using loginctl (no X11.conf stuff - in fact that file does not exist) and lightdm.
I didn't do anything special with the lightdm config files - I belive they're all defaults.
Every time I boot, each seat's lightdm seems to have a random chance of loading correctly. Sometimes all 4 load, but most of the time just 2 or 3 of the 4 load correctly and the remaining ones have a black screen with a mouse cursor on it (movable).
Here is a representative log from one of the seats that does not load correctly.
/var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log
It seems to me like the 2nd and 3rd to last messages are the important ones:
For contrast, here is the log from a seat that loaded correctly and showed the lightdm login:
The random nature of this happening or not happening on any given seat&boot combination makes me think it's some sort of race conditoin. Sometimes all 4 load correctly, sometimes just 3 of the 4, sometimes just 2 of the 4. I don't think I've ever just seen 1/4.
What do you think could be the cause and what can be the solution?
