Ok, I'm reopening this because the default could be better. I have filed
a Debian bug for input.
Unfortunately, my initial thinking is that it will cause too much
disruption to change the way this file works in stable Ubuntu releases.

+ Original Bug Report
+ ===================
Ubuntu 17.10 final
gdm3 package version is 3.26.1-3ubuntu2
-
Problem details:
----------------
The file /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults got this option commented by
default:
# disable-user-list=true
I've used this option with Ubuntu 17.04 (GNOME session) in order to not
show any profile in greeter, as a security measure.
But with Ubuntu 17.10, if you uncomment that line Ubuntu will not boot
(really will not start gdm3, so no greeter is shown).
-
How to reproduce the problem:
- Fresh install Ubuntu 17.10 desktop (for instance, in a virtual machine).
- Uncomment the line "# disable-user-list=true" in file
"/etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults".
- Reboot...
