After messing around on the Login screen, I found the little cogwheel that lets you change desktop environments. I clicked Kodi, logged in, and it worked fine, so then I decided to try Openbox and TWM and none of those launched, so I went to bed and called it a night. When i tried to log into Wayland again this morning I was greeted with a black screen and only "Unlock Login Keyring", and once I unlock it the screen freezes up. I'm pretty sure that using Openbox broke my GDM install since I don't think I had the dependencies, I'm not even sure what it is to be honest, any help will be appreciated and I will update with whatever information is required.
Additional info 1: When I do CTRL+ALT+f1 it opens the login screen, but I cannot change the environment and when I log in it takes me back to the same screen- I am able to open a new session on TTY3 though. and the cogwheel is missing.
Made a new User account in TTY and was able to load into wayland. Next step would be to compare config files?
Accessed the xsessions files and these are the contents of the options i selected.
