Title:
gdm does not start after upgrade from 14.04.4 LTS to 16.04.1 LTS
To manage
the system starts "gdm", but this maps to the default gdm selected by
"update-alternatives". Since gdm is not installed, but lightdm is,
update-alternatives automatically selects lightdm to start with:
# update-alternatives --get-selections
x-session-manager auto /usr/bin/startxfc
H:
# cd /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/
-bash: cd: /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/: No such file or directory
Singe gdm isn't installed, I did not expect to find configuration files
for gdm at all -- what is ok, since gdm is not installed.
