I just found that further calls to $ sudo systemctl restart gdm Seem to alternate between good/bad state.
Here is the log of one such bad restarts: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Dx7Sk3wDyx/ OTOH, the service could just in general not be restarable - so take this with a grain of salt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790478 Title: gdm3 in cosmic fails to start fully in autopkgtest Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In systemd package for a while, there is a boot-and-services test case, which tries to install common/typical things and ensure they continue to operate with new systemd. One of the test cases is gdm3. The test case dependencies are: Tests: boot-and-services Depends: systemd-sysv, systemd, udev, systemd-container, systemd-coredump, libpam-systemd, xserver-xorg-video-dummy, xserver-xorg, gdm3 [!s390x], cron, network-manager, busybox-static, apparmor, pkg-config, python3 The test does following: out = subprocess.check_output(['ps', 'u', '-C', 'gdm-x-session']) self.assertIn(b'gdm-x-session gnome-session', out) out = subprocess.check_output(['ps', 'u', '-C', 'Xorg']) self.assertIn(b'Xorg vt1', out) self.active_unit('gdm') However, this now errors out upon the first command, meaning gdm-x-session is not running anymore. On bionic, this test case continues to operate correctly in the autopkgtest cloud. test_gdm3 (__main__.ServicesTest) ... ERROR ====================================================================== ERROR: test_gdm3 (__main__.ServicesTest) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/autopkgtest.RNx2A1/build.2Wy/src/debian/tests/boot-and-services", line 66, in test_gdm3 out = subprocess.check_output(['ps', 'u', '-C', 'gdm-x-session']) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 336, in check_output **kwargs).stdout File "/usr/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 418, in run output=stdout, stderr=stderr) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['ps', 'u', '-C', 'gdm-x-session']' returned non-zero exit status 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 24 tests in 18.974s FAILED (errors=1) From http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/systemd/cosmic/i386 Thus it looks like there is a regression or a change of behavior of gdm3 in the cloud in cosmic; since bionic continues to work correctly. I will mark this test as an expected failure for now, and monitor it separately, as currently, this is blocking many migrations.
