1 graphical.target start waiting

83 systemd-...nlevel.service start waiting
89 plymouth.service start waiting
97 gdm.service start waiting
99 openvpn.service start running
114 bootlogs.service start waiting
(I then purged plymouth, which was not set up to run anyway,
still see gdm problem.)

gdm.service - LSB: GNOME Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/gdm)
Active: inactive (dead)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/gdm.service
Possible red herring, I also tried systemctl status gdm3.service:
gdm3.service
Loaded: error
Active: inactive (dead)
I don't have gdm3 installed, nor any dangling conffiles.
Also, to fill in an unclear bit from before -- Logging in at the console
and back out is not enough to get gdm going. I have to log in as root,
and ask systemd to start gdm.
