The solution was to remove a duplicate entry from fstab. dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 exited with a line about the duplicate entry in fstab. My fstab is a mess of entries because whenever I connected a usb storage device it would be reported as a device such as sr, sr0, sr1, sg0, sdd1, etc. For each I made a new entry in the fstab with a directory name - cdrw, phone, sony, usbmem, sansa, etc. - with appropriate file type.
Perhaps there is a better way. At any rate when the duplicate was commented out, the problem with gdm3 was resolved. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: https://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
