I dunno. Here on Stretch, /lib/systemd/system/gdm3.service -> gdm.service

There's also a unit called 'display-manager.service' (which starts my

Hi folks,
what is the recommended procedure to disable gmd3 using
systemctl in Buster?
"systemctl mask gdm" does not work as advertised. The "masked"
seems to be ignored.
Every helpful hint is highly appreciated

Bob, I just had that happen to me. It failed to start lightdm. so in

What display problems? You don't say exactly. Also. What's the

when set up initially. i don't recommend working around

Have you tried logging in to the terminal and typing "startx"? If that gets you
a Gnome GUI, Gnome is (probably) OK, and you can just remove the GUI starters

gdm3.serviceJob for gdm.service failed.
Looked for solution in man systemctl, found reset-failed command. Tried
systemctl reset-failed gdm.se
