Package: systemd
Version: 16-1
Severity: normal

Tried systemd. System booted but gdm (2 not gdm3) did not start.

So, logged in as root on tty1 and looked around..

In systemctl:

gdm.service               loaded inactive   dead      start LSB: GNOME Display 
Manager

Tried to start gdm by hand with /etc/init.d/gdm start. This hung.

Backgrounded it, and looked at ps:

 1478 tty1     Ss     0:00 /bin/login --     
 1668 tty1     S      0:00  \_ -zsh
 1700 tty1     S+     0:00      \_ script
 1701 tty1     S+     0:00          \_ script
 1702 pts/0    Ss     0:00              \_ zsh -i
 1719 pts/0    T      0:00                  \_ /bin/sh /etc/init.d/gdm start
 1722 pts/0    T      0:00                  |   \_ /bin/systemctl start 
gdm.service
 1723 pts/0    T      0:00                  |       \_ 
/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch
 1725 pts/0    R+     0:00                  \_ ps fax

As soon as I logged out, gdm started up. Looking at tty1 now, I see,
paraphrasing:

root@gnu:~> exit
Starting getty on tty1...
Starting openvpnd...
Starting gdm...

Problem is reproducible here, although I haven't checked yet if gdm
starts on logout if I don't manually try to init it.
