+=Display Manager Crashes (SystemD)=
-With the switch to systemd, many display managers crash on the 2nd logout. To solve this issue, just add a line to the end of the appropriate pam configuration file. The following example is for SDDM:
+After Arch and other Arch-based derivatives introduced a new internal process called '''SystemD''' relatively recently, many display managers would crash upon attempted to log out and back in two or more times. While this should have been resolved at the time of writing, more experienced users encountering this problem can manually configure their display manager by editing the '''/etc/pam.d/[display manager]''' configuration file.
+For example, where using SDDM, users would edit '''/etc/pam.d/sddm'''. For SLiM (already patched), it would be '''/etc/pam.d/slim''', and so on. Once open, just add the following line at the end of the configuration file to solve the issue:
+ session 	required 	pam_systemd.so
-'''/etc/pam.d/sddm'''
-...
-session 	required 	pam_systemd.so
