Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
No matter what session I choose I cannot login using gdm. Once I have entered my username and password the login screen disappears and I just see the background. A few seconds later I am back at a login prompt w/ no error reported. I have tried all the available sessions (except "User defined session") and even tried installing xfce4-session, but haven't been able to login. I install xdm and switched that to the default login manager. Now I can login, but only when using xdm. I looked at ~/.xsession-errors but there is no information - literally just one line, "/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup..."
