(1)Wrong path I installed lightdm-ubuntu and unity-greeter,no error occured.But after reboot the system can't start lightdm,then I found that lightdm was installed into /usr/bin but it was needed to be in /usr/sbin.So I made a soft link and everything is okay now.Is this normal? (2)The cursor theme is ugly and I can't change it. I find out that if I run unity-greeter in terminal after login the cursor theme will change to the one I choose.I don't know why.

Thanks, I'll take a look at this. All /usr/sbin/ files are supposed to be in /usr/bin/ now: https://www.archlinux.org/todo/no-files-in-bin-sbin-or-usrsbin/ so I need to find what is still referencing sbin.

For the ugly cursors, try doing this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cursor_Themes#Using_the_XDG_Icon_Theme_Specification

There should be no problems with LightDM. Have you performed the /usr/bin merging instructions and the main Arch Linux website yet? If you have, try disabling and reenabling the lightdm service:

sudo systemctl disable lightdm.service
sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service

@chenxiaolong I've not did that.I remove the soft link and tried what you said,but it didn't make a difference.
