I just borked my install after 3 years of smooth sailing...

So I was trying to uninstall my xbps-src install of discord and in doing so now my system only boots to a tty.

So I run i3 for DE and light-dm for a DM.

When uninstalling discord i ran

sudo xbps-remove -Ro discord

After rebooting I only get a tty. I'm able to log in to my system but it no longer goes into light-dm and thus no i3.

I'm assuming some dependencies got removed but not sure what. I tried reinstalling all installed packages using -f but no change.

Any idea how I can approach trying to fix this. I dont want to nuke and pave, I want to learn how to fix it.

Update:

I managed to reinstall lightdm and it seemed to reinstall the dependencies that were removed. It seems to have fixed it.
