Package: gdm3 Version: 3.14.1-3 Severity: normal https://bugs.debian.org/762676 means that, when docked, my laptop boots to a state in which the greeter is not visible: the laptop's backlight is off, and the external monitor is blank (grey background) because the laptop was selected as the primary display.
Pressing the "backlight up" key (Fn+Home on my Thinkpad X220) brings the brightness up by 1 step, but does not go beyond that. Additionally, I get lots of these messages in the journal: > Jan 05 11:26:57 archetype pkexec[2971]: Debian-gdm: The > value for the SHELL variable was not found the /etc/shells > file [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/var/lib/gdm3] > [COMMAND=/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-backlight-helper > --set-brightness 232] > Jan 05 11:26:57 archetype gnome-session[2335]: The value for the SHELL > variable was not found the /etc/shells file > Jan 05 11:26:57 archetype gnome-session[2335]: This incident has been > reported.
