Package: gdm3 Version: 3.36.2-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I don't know exactly with which version of gdm3 this occurred, but with the current one I am forced to choose "GNOME" as a session when logging in with the login manager. Any other choice just results in getting back to the login manager. And by "any" I mean also any other GNOME session, like "GNOME on Xorg", "GNOME fallback"... Only GNOME (which defaults running on Wayland) successfuly starts a user session. Due to this, I was currently forced to install another login manager (lightdm) and use that, since that enables me to use GNOME on Xorg (quite some apps still have problems on Wayland). And I want to be able to use other sessions, in case GNOME gets temporarily broken by some sid upgrade (it happened a number of times, and being able to run MATE proved then to be absolutely necessary). I would gladly produce any debugging info that may help tracing and solving this problem. Just give me directions on what you want me to test and what log files to collect and send. Thanks, best regards Giacomo Mulas -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (401, 'unstable'), (10, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.7.17-jak (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to it_IT.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=it_IT,en_EN Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.55-3 ii adduser 3.118 ii cinnamon [x-window-manager] 4.6.7-1 ii cinnamon-session [x-session-manager] 4.6.2-1 ii cwm [x-window-manager] 6.6-2 ii dbus 1.12.20-1 ii dconf-cli 0.36.0-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.36.0-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.74 ii gir1.2-gdm-1.0 3.36.2-1 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.36.0-2 ii gnome-session-bin 3.36.0-2+b1 ii gnome-session-flashback [x-session-manager] 3.36.4-1 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.36.1-1 ii gnome-shell 3.36.5-1 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.36.2-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.36.1-1 ii icewm [x-window-manager] 1.6.6-1 ii icewm-experimental [x-window-manager] 1.6.6-1 ii kitty [x-terminal-emulator] 0.18.3-1 ii konsole [x-terminal-emulator] 4:20.08.0-1 ii kwin-x11 [x-window-manager] 4:5.17.5-2+b1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.55-3 ii libaudit1 1:2.8.5-3+b1 ii libc6 2.31-3 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-7 ii libcanberra0 0.30-7 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.40.0+dfsg-5 ii libgdm1 3.36.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.64.4-1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.64.4-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.22-1 ii libkeyutils1 1.6.1-2 ii libpam-modules 1.3.1-5 ii libpam-runtime 1.3.1-5 ii libpam-systemd 246.2-1 ii libpam0g 1.3.1-5 ii librsvg2-common 2.48.7-1 ii libselinux1 3.1-2 ii libsystemd0 246.2-1 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-30 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.10-3 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1+b2 ii libxcb1 1.14-2 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.2-3 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 ii marco [x-window-manager] 1.24.1-1 ii mate-session-manager [x-session-manager] 1.24.1-1 ii mate-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 1.24.1-1 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:3.36.1-1 ii muffin [x-window-manager] 4.6.3-1 ii mutter [x-window-manager] 3.36.5-1 ii mwm [x-window-manager] 2.3.8-3 ii openbox [x-window-manager] 3.6.1-9 ii plasma-workspace [x-session-manager] 4:5.17.5-4 ii policykit-1 0.105-29 ii procps 2:3.3.16-5 ii sawfish [x-window-manager] 1:1.11.90-1.1+b1 ii twm [x-window-manager] 1:1.0.10-1 ii ucf 3.0043 ii x11-common 1:7.7+20 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+8 ii xfce4-session [x-session-manager] 4.14.2-1 ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.8.9.2-1 ii xfwm4 [x-window-manager] 4.14.5-1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 359-1 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.36.0-3 ii desktop-base 10.0.3 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7+5 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.20.8-2 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+20 ii zenity 3.32.0-5 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: ii gnome-orca 3.36.5-1 pn libpam-fprintd <none> ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.36.0-1 -- debconf information excluded
