Package: gdm3 Version: 3.0.4-3 Severity: important I had to reboot the system after hitting a bug in the graphics driver that left the screen blank. I rebooted by pressing (not holding) the power button so that there was a more-or-less normal shutdown; but it's possible that the X server hung and gdm3 was not shut down cleanly.
On the next boot, gdm3 displayed the 'wait' cursor for a few seconds; then it displayed an error dialog with the message 'Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority' and only action button 'Log Out'. I removed /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority* and was then able to restart gdm3 succesfully.
