Public bug reported:
There are two bug reports in LP: #1559576, LP: #1632322 and also LP:
#1666664, where GDM does not start on proprietary nvidia drivers. As it
turned out, the reason for that was Xorg starting in rootless mode and
apparently not initializing everything properly, which was causing
gnome-shell/libmutter to crash.
Installing xserver-xorg-legacy did partially fix those issues.
Enabling modesetting for nvidia driver however still causes the problem.
Here are some parts from log:
