Summary0008429: arm64 ver upgrade problem -- run apt upgrade leads to Lightdm or GUI crash
Description

The version is arm64 for raspberry Pi 4 (4GBver). Using mirror by Tsinghua University (https://mirrors-i.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/). After I tried to run 'apt upgrade' and wait for its done and reboot, the system booted to tty1 while the runlevel was 5. That trying to run 'startx' is successful meant that the Xfce desktop and x server were working. However, all atempts to launch Lightdm were failed. When I input 'sudo lightdm --test-mode -debug', the log pointed that the lightdm had an contradiction with dbus. Reinstallation of Lightdm or dbus or xorg proved useless.
Here's some of the log:
[+0.00s] DEBUG: Logging to /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log [+0.00s] DEBUG: Starting Light Display Manager 1.32.0, UID=0 PID=1007 [+0.00s] DEBUG: Loading configuration dirs from /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d [+0.00s] DEBUG: Loading configuration from /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf [+0.00s] DEBUG: Loading configuration dirs from /usr/local/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d [+0.00s] DEBUG: Loading configuration dirs from /etc/xdg/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d [+0.00s] DEBUG: Loading configuration from /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [+0.00s] DEBUG: Registered seat module local [+0.00s] DEBUG: Registered seat module xremote [+0.00s] DEBUG: Using D-Bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager [+0.01s] DEBUG: Using cross-namespace EXTERNAL authentication (this will deadlock if server is GDBus < 2.73.3) [+0.01s] DEBUG: _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation local (GLocalVfs) for ?gio-vfs?

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

I don't konw whether the apt mirro or xorg or lightdm leads to this, so 3 logs are provided.

Sadly the website doesn't allow me to post the logs...
I uploaded them on my Google drive.

It seems that only update lightdm will cause this problem. Maybe a lightdm package bug. Lightdm will launch before the dbus come to work.

This is unfortunately due to a default changing upstream between 1.26 (old version) and 1.32. The kali 2023.3 release should have the fix, but if you don't want to start over from scratch you can edit the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file and find the line that starts with

#logind-check-graphical=true

and change it to be

logind-check-graphical=false

(remove the # so that it's no longer a comment, and change the setting from true to false)
