It is normal that stopping the display manager stops the graphical session.
Are the "gnome-session" and "gnome-shell" packages installed?
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
This worked.
sudo stop lightdm
This crashed i3 and left me with a black screen on the X display.
sudo start gdm
I had to do Ctrl+Alt+F1 to do this command.
GDM started successfully. GNOME does not start. Entering login
information still returns me to the login
Is the "gdm" package installed? If not, install it and you will be asked
whether you want to switch to this display manager. If it is already
installed, then reconfigure it. To do so from a terminal:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
You can then reboot or simply execute:
$ sudo stop lightdm
$
How do I switch to GDM? Can I get that tasksel menu or whatever it was
up again?
It must be Xorg. I actually use GDM as a display manager. However I used to
use LightDM (or was it on Trisquel 6?). I switched to GDM to:
get a "lock screen" button in the menu;
get notification on that lock screen (configurable from "Brightness & Lock"
in the "System Settings").
