More specifically, the critical file from ubuntu-gnome-default-settings is: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_ubuntu-gnome-default-settings.gschema.override
If you remove that file and update schemas (one way is "dpkg-reconfigure libglib2.0-0"), gdm won't start properly. If you re-add the file and update schemas, gdm starts working. Also noteworthy: the gdm log file is now (null)-greeter.log instead of :0-greeter.log. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500673 Title: gdm unusable after upgrading to 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1500673/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
