Control: tags 762757 + wontfix On 25/09/14 00:29, Christoph Anton Mitterer wrote: > Is gnome-shell really needed for gdm to run?
Yes. gdm's current user interface is just GNOME Shell running in a special mode: the fallback non-Shell greeter (which was used by default in Debian 7) was removed between 3.8 and 3.10. I suspect this should be closed as "not a bug", but for now I'm just tagging it wontfix. For non-GNOME environments, you might be better off with lightdm.
