Package: gdm3 Version: 3.14.1-3 Severity: serious After my route upgrade of yesterday on testing, I can no longer login into an X session using GDM. Upon (re)start, GDM seems to start properly, but only shows its background, without any way of choosing the login user (neither via the user list, nor via the login prompt).
As I've had gnome-shell induced GDM issues in the past, I've tried to upgrade my gnome-shell* packages to the versions currently in unstable, to no avail.[ I've tried to look up relevant log information but: 1) /var/log/gdm3 only contains files that are 5+ months old (is that dir no longer used by GDM for logging?) and 2) /var/log/syslog doesn't seem to contain anything interesting. If you have tips on how I can provide you with interesting debugging informations, please let me know. Also, knowing how to get a X session for my user would be nice, as plain old "startx" doesn't seem to work either. TIA, Cheers. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.37-3+b1 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii awesome [x-window-manager] 3.4.15-1+b1 ii dconf-cli 0.22.0-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.22.0-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.54 ii gir1.2-gdm3 3.14.1-3 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-session-bin 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-session-flashback [x-session-manager] 3.8.1-7 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.14.2-2 ii gnome-shell 3.14.2-2 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.14.1-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.14.1-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.37-3+b1 ii libaudit1 1:2.4-1+b1 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-2.1 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+b1 ii libgdm1 3.14.1-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.42.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.5-1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-systemd 215-7 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.5-1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii libsystemd0 215-7 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1+b1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1+b1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:3.14.3-1 ii mutter [x-window-manager] 3.14.2-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-8 ii ucf 3.0030 ii x11-common 1:7.7+7 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+3+b1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 312-1 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.14.0-1 ii desktop-base 7.0.3 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.12.0-1 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7+1 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.16.1.901-1 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+7 ii zenity 3.14.0-1 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: ii gnome-orca 3.14.0-2 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.14.0-1+b1 -- debconf information: * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm3 gdm3/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
