Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-6
Severity: normal
Hi.
I had on one machine gdm3 installed, and was going to install
nvidia driver. I changed xorg.conf but forgot to install driver.
Of course Xorg stoped working as it was trying to use driver which do not
existed
(due to the missing xorg dirver and/or missing kernel module).
Unfortunetly gdm3 goes insane, and repeatedly restarts Xorg server.
(about 5 times per seconds), and do this forever. Screen is constantly flashing,
and I cannot even login on console. Only way to fix problem is to
login using ssh or restart system in single user mode.
Please introduce some kind of more robust crash detection.
There are multiple ways in which this can be achived.
Even simple ones like "Last 3 sessions on this screen lasted less than 5 second
each,
and non of this 3 started sucessfully greater - thus disableing,
displaying message to the user, or waiting 60 seconds".
This problem already happened to me twice on to separate box.
(one of them was as described above, other was slightly different IMHO).
PS. Problem is not releated to nvidia driver, and can be triggered in many
other ways
(simples is just to add error like non-existing/misspeled driver name).
Thanks.

* gdm3.post{inst,rm}: add a gdm-welcome PAM service, which is now
needed for the login session. It's just a symlink.
* 91_shell_version_control.patch: new patch, Debian-specific. Add
strict version checking for gnome-shell in order to go to the fall
back session in case of potential incompatibility.
* 93_private_lib.patch: also install the typelib file in the private
directory, and drop the gir file.
* gdm3.dirs: /usr/lib/gnome-shell
* rules:
+ Remove pre-built gdm.schemas which includes incorrect settings.
+ Enable introspection.
+ Instruct dh_girepository to look at the typelib file in the right
place.
+ Add symbolic links for the library and typelib in the gnome-shell
directory so that it can use them.
* Add gir (build-)dependencies.

fallback session. Otherwise reboot/shutdown does nothing when
someone is logged on.
