I updated, and then rebooted because there was a kernel update. My login manager lxdm comes up like normal. I tried to login as my user into herbstufluftwm and got kicked back to the login. I was then able to login as the guest user.
#Updated and cannot connect to display as my main user

@errant void can you login via tty?
errant void
yes and I can login as the guest and then login with su - meskarune in a terminal
Jul 25 21:14:40 raven lxdm-session[753]: pam_unix(lxdm:session): session closed for user meskarune
Jul 25 21:14:40 raven systemd[1]: session-1.scope: Deactivated successfully.

this is from journalctl
I have fluxbox and lxdm and herbsltufwm installed and they all open for the guest and all fail for my user
errant void
idk what ly is
I can install some other dm I guess, but I did try just running "startlxdm" from tty and that also failed
with "cannot connect to display"
errant void
ok I'll reboot and see if it changes anything
thanks for your time helping me with this
It didn't work
this error quickly flashed on the screen and then it was back to the ly login screen
but I can still login as the guest user and all the window managers work for the guest
this is ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.2.log

@errant void pacman -Q xorg-xauth libxcb
errant void
xorg-xauth 1.1.4-1
libxcb 1.17.0-1
xorg is working for the guest user. I am logged in under the guest and using lxdm with it. I can also use su - meskarune to login as my user in a terminal and look at files or edit files.
