I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 B 8GB RAM, 5.4.83-Re4son-V7l+kernel and Kali Linux ARM image from kali.org. After updating/upgrading Kali Linux ARM 32-bit to the latest version 2024.2 had problems related with the display managers such as lighdm version: 1.32.0. Due to that I am unable to have a working login screen so far. I reinstalled again lightdm and kali-desktop-xfce, which did not resolve anything.
Step to reproduce: Just upgrading
Here is the log of –test-mode -debug

The root cause of this dbus error - " Failed to use bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager, do you have appropriate permissions?" It points to a lightdm bug which was fixed already before as per this links
https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=8429

It fixed and resolved this issue by changing the value from true to false in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf as
#logind-check-graphical=true
and change it to be
logind-check-graphical=false
(remove the # )
After this lightdm just working fine again !
For freezing at lightdm login screen related with the X.Org X Server 1.21.1.11. The errors were found in the Xorg.0.log
