I have just installed debian 10.4 . I opted to install multiple desktops
including cinnamon, gnome3 and xfce
I need to set my uid to 501 as I use NFSv3 an my NAS allocates normal users in
the range 501 to 999
Two issues (possibly related)
1: My username does not appear as a choice on gdm3 (the documentation says all
above 500 should) [ I cannot find a config setting to chnage this ]
<
https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/3.26/configuration.html.en#generalsessionconfig
>
2. If I manually type my name and logon , using the "cog" to select say
cinnamon, the I get cinnamon
2a If I log off & on again, I stoll get cinnamon
2b If I reboot, it goes back to gnome3
I created a new user (user666)
$ sudo useradd -c "uid is 666" -m -u 666 user666
$ sudo passwd user666
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Then at GDM3 login:
I turned on debug and saw:
4 matches for "Error" in buffer: gdm3.debug3

If I were to guess, I'd say the limit had been set to 1000 , not 500 as per
docs. But in anycase I'd like to override back to around 200. The lack of
persistance of the the desktop session choice seem to affect users in the same
pid range (<1000)
