I dont understand too much of this However I dont think the bug as it surfaced for me has anything to do with n -> n+2 upgrades (oldstable to testing). In particular I am on jessie for months I upgrade about once every few weeks And I was using a 2.6 kernel with everything showing as uptodate Maybe not a gdm specific bug but certainly a bug since it made my system almost unusable [Is there some log I can set/see as to why gdm crashed?] Rusi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
