Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-2
Severity: important
After updating from Squeeze to Wheezy, the gdm login screen never appears on
boot, instead, it ends up in a blank screen with the cursor spinning.
Moving the pointer works.
Switching to a virtual console works.
Entering a X session (ie. startx) from a virtual console works.
