Package: gdm3 Version: 3.4.1-5 After dist-upgrade from squeeze to wheezy gdm3 offers no login prompt anymore. Instead the screen stays blank, the cursor keeps spinning, while X respawned multiple times. Maybe related to #681830.
Current gdm3 log shows > Fatal server error: > xf86OpenConsole: Cannot find a free VT ... > (WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor > (WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor > Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file. See attached log for details. > The real fix for this issue, is to properly set the security context > on the /usr/sbin/gdm3 executable. > > -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root system_u:object_r:xdm_exec_t:s0 263592 oct 20 > 17:53 /usr/sbin/gdm3 # ls -l /usr/sbin/gdm3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 162456 Nov 26 14:46 /usr/sbin/gdm3 > You should check that you have at least the package > selinux-policy-default (2:2.20110726-11) installed and relabel your > filesystem (touch /.autorelabel && reboot). # dpkg -l |grep selinux ii libselinux1:i386 2.1.9-5 i386 ii python-selinux 2.1.9-5 i386 Python bindings to SELinux shared libraries ii selinux-policy-default 2:2.20110726-12 all Strict and Targeted variants of the SELinux policy I switched to lightdm which works fine, except user switching (#683373).
