Bug#909770: gdm3: Does not show the list of users and fails to start any session

Show all headers | View raw

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.30.1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

   The problem appeared on 3.30 and is still a problem in 3.30.1

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     Boot the computer, then wait for the login screen (gdm) to appear.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

   The background of the plyumouth theme is shown but the list of
   users is not there as expected.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

   The normal list of users from gdm.

Sometimes I press the power button and the system suspends to
RAM. When resuming then the gdm login screen is there, *but* if I try to
enter any session (GNOME) it does not work. The authentication seems
to succeed but then the screen becomes blank and there is no
possibility to even switch to the terminals via Ctr-Alt-Fx.

I'm now using lightdm which works fine.
