Package: gdm3
Version: 46.0-2+b3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/gdm3
Dear Maintainer,
I have an NVidia graphics card. The following problem occurs both when
I am using the NVidia 535 driver and when I am using the open-source
Nouveau driver, i.e., when I completely purge all *nvidia* packages
from my system and reboot. This problem did _not_ occur with the
NVidia 525 driver before I upgraded to 535, and indeed I believe
that's the reason why I previously chose not to upgrade to 535.
Apparently moving forward that's not going to be an option because 525
is deprecated, so if this issue isn't fixed there's no longer a
workaround for me. :-/
I have two screens plugged into a DisplayLink hub.
When I have automatic login enabled in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf, I can
reboot my system and go straight to being logged in with no trouble.
However, when I disable automatic login and reboot, or restart the gdm
service, or just log out from the automatic login session, then both
of my screens get _some_ signal from the computer after gdm starts up,
i.e., both monitors think they're displaying an image from the
computer rather than being in power-save mode, and indeed there's even
an X cursor on one monitor that I can move with my mouse, but the
login screen does not appear.
If I unplug both monitors from the DisplayLink hub and plug one of
them directly into the computer, the login screen immediately appears.
Note: if there is someone qualified who wants to investigate this
issue but the lack of a DisplayLink hub is impeding your ability to do
that, then I will pay to send you one either by shipping you one of my
extras or just reimbursing you for the cost of ordering one. I would
like to see this fixed and while I don't have the technical knowledge
or experience to fix it myself I am happy to put up enough money to
supply someone else with the hardware they need to work on it.

Now I'm not actually sure I was using the nvidia driver, as opposed to
nouveau, when I ran into this problem, because after reinstalling my
system overnight I watched more closely and discovered that the nvidia
driver wasn't actually loading until I inserted set nouveau.modeset=0
during boot, and once I did that and got the nvidia driver to load, the
problem I described in this bug report is gone, so I'm going to close
this report.
