Here is a patch, that fixes it for me. However I don't really know enough about gdm to say this is entirely correct.
I have no idea, if or how multi-seat stuff works, but atleast I can boot now and it seems to work fine when restarting gdm also. ** Attachment added: "ubuntu-full-seat-id" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1041998/+attachment/3278446/+files/ubuntu-full-seat-id -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041998 Title: gdm fails on initial boot, due to broken initial VT switching. Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This bug report is against the gdm 3.5.90 package off ricotz/staging ppa. On inital boot, gdm fails to load as it is trying to start on VT1. This seems to be the issue that was previously fixed by the "06_first_vt.patch". Digging a bit into the gdm package, it is built with '--with-initial- vt=7', however apparently this is never getting set. From what I can tell, It would appear that the following code from gdm_server_start(), fails to set 'vtarg' on that initial boot. (this is what replaced the previous "06_first_vt.patch") /* Hardcode the VT for the initial X server, but nothing else */ if (server->priv->is_initial && g_strcmp0 (server->priv->display_seat_id, "seat0") == 0) { vtarg = "vt" GDM_INITIAL_VT; } after which vtarg = null, and gdm is spawned on the current vt1, rather than vt7 As work around if I boot with lightdm, and then start gdm afterwards then it loads correctly.
