Package: gdm3 Version: 3.22.1-1 Severity: important Heya,
yesterday evening my GNOME session (the default one) didn't want to start properly, and just left me with the screen background after login - no Shell, no anything else. So I've tried logging in choosing the "GNOME Classic" session (not the metacity one, the one based on GNOME Shell, but the panel-like look & feel). It worked properly, and still does. The problem is I can no longer go back to the "GNOME" session: when I choose it upon login, I still get the "GNOME Classic" session, and I've no idea about how to go back to the default GNOME session. Any idea of how to fix and/or further debug this? TIA, Cheers PS I'm not entirely sure it's GDM's fault. It might be gnome-session, gnome-shell, or something else. Feel free to reassign as needed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.43-1 ii adduser 3.115 ii awesome [x-window-manager] 3.5.9-1 ii dconf-cli 0.26.0-2 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.26.0-2 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 ii gir1.2-gdm-1.0 3.22.1-1 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.22.2-1 ii gnome-session-bin 3.22.2-1 ii gnome-session-flashback [x-session-manager] 3.22.0-3 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.22.1-1 ii gnome-shell 3.22.2-1 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.22.1-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.22.0-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.43-1 ii libaudit1 1:2.6.7-1 ii libc6 2.24-8 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-3 ii libcanberra0 0.30-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.3-1 ii libgdm1 3.22.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.50.2-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.6-1 ii libkeyutils1 1.5.9-9 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.5 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.5 ii libpam-systemd 232-8 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.5 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.16-1 ii libselinux1 2.6-3 ii libsystemd0 232-8 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-26 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-2 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.2-1.1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:3.22.1-1 ii mutter [x-window-manager] 3.22.2-3 ii policykit-1 0.105-17 ii ucf 3.0036 ii x11-common 1:7.7+18 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+7 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 327-2 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.22.0-5 ii desktop-base 9.0.0 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7+3 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.19.0-3 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+18 ii zenity 3.22.0-1 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: ii gnome-orca 3.22.2-1 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.20.0-3 -- Configuration Files: /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf changed: [daemon] WaylandEnable=false [security] [xdmcp] [greeter] [chooser] [debug] -- debconf information: gdm3/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm3 * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm3
