Public bug reported:
That one is really odd.
25.04 was working perfectly - and then I upgraded the (expendable)
machine to beta test 25.10 and ... the graphical login won't work at
all.
gdm will start, but I see no graphical activity AT ALL. No flickering,
nothing.
The only log line which might be of interest is:
gdm-launch-environment] [3328]: pam_unix(gdm-launch-
environment:account): could not identify user (from getpwname(gdm-
greeter))
