Package: gdm3 Version: 3.22.3-3+deb9u1 Followup-For: Bug #897975 Dear Maintainer,
after recent upgrade, gdm3 also fails to start as for the other reportes. It doesn't even switch to graphical mode and so the few text boot messages stay visible. In contrast to previous reporters, I do not see the "ICELockAuthFile fail" error in my logs. To narrow down problems I enabled debug mode in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf (as attached) and then gdm3 simply starts. Disabling debug mode makes gdm3 fail again. Funnily enough, the last packages upgraded before the failing boot were pretty innocent: Start-Date: 2018-05-07 14:29:16 Commandline: apt dist-upgrade Requested-By: dzu (1000) Upgrade: linux-libc-dev:amd64 (4.9.82-1+deb9u3, 4.9.88-1), openjdk-8-jre:amd64 (8u162-b12-1~deb9u1, 8u171-b11-1~deb9u1), linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64:amd64 (4.9.82-1+deb9u3, 4.9.88-1), libmad0:amd64 (0.15.1b-8, 0.15.1b-8+deb9u1), openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64 (8u162-b12-1~deb9u1, 8u171-b11-1~deb9u1), libsdl- image1.2:amd64 (1.2.12-5+b8, 1.2.12-5+deb9u1), tzdata:amd64 (2018d-0+deb9u1, 2018e-0+deb9u1) End-Date: 2018-05-07 14:30:23 Cheers Detlev -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.43-1 ii adduser 3.115 ii dconf-cli 0.26.0-2+b1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.26.0-2+b1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.61 ii gir1.2-gdm-1.0 3.22.3-3+deb9u1 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.22.3-1 ii gnome-session-bin 3.22.3-1 ii gnome-session-flashback [x-session-manager] 3.22.0-3 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.22.2-2+deb9u2 ii gnome-shell 3.22.3-3 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.22.2-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.22.0-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.43-1 ii libaudit1 1:2.6.7-2 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-3 ii libcanberra0 0.30-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2+deb9u2 ii libgdm1 3.22.3-3+deb9u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.50.3-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.11-1 ii libkeyutils1 1.5.9-9 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.6 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.6 ii libpam-systemd 232-25+deb9u3 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.6 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.16-1+b1 ii libselinux1 2.6-3+b3 ii libsystemd0 232-25+deb9u3 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-26 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxcb1 1.12-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.2-3 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:3.22.1-1 ii mutter [x-window-manager] 3.22.3-2 ii policykit-1 0.105-18 ii ucf 3.0036 ii x11-common 1:7.7+19 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+7+b1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 327-2 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.22.0-6+deb9u1 ii desktop-base 9.0.2+deb9u1 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7+3+b1 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.19.2-1+deb9u2 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+19 ii zenity 3.22.0-1+b1 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: ii gnome-orca 3.22.2-3 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.20.0-3 -- Configuration Files: /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf changed: [daemon] [security] [xdmcp] [chooser] [debug] Enable=true -- debconf information: gdm3/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm3 * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm3
