Restart. - You should get a login screen. + You should get a login screen. Your desktop session (Unity or whatever) should still be the same as whatever you last successfully logged in with. Regression Potential -------------------- + This patch was accepted upstream. It only affects the default session for the 'gdm' system user. Other Info ---------- ubuntu-settings contains this in /usr/share/glib-2.0/10_ubuntu-settings.gchema.override [org.gnome.desktop.session] session-name="ubuntu" gdm3 fails to start unless session-name="gnome"
