I previously posted this with a bunch of unrelated info, I'm editing it to reflect what I know now.
I cannot start Cinnamon or Gnome from GDM. SDDM works fine. So does .xinitrc + startx. GDM was previously working up until my last reboot, which likely impacted some library GDM depends on based on various world updates. When logging in via GDM, this is what shows up in /var/log/messages:

I can't find any other errors anywhere. /var/log/gdm/greeter.log is even less helpful. It seems to be starting everything up and then suddenly decides to start shutting everything down. |
