Hi all, Unfortunately I can't trace exactly how I got myself in this situation, but right now, xdm does not autostart for me.
Largely, what I did: Install bullseye without GUI but install xdm later manually. I also upgraded to bookworm (for other reasons). It might well be that the issue is not bookworm specific, though, but rather was present before the upgrade. When I reboot I am left at the text console (Xorg.0.log) attached. It seems that the xdm service fails because of 'no screens found'. When I log in as root then and run 'service xdm start' xdm starts fine. ('systemctl get-default' returns 'graphical.target') What should be my next steps to resolve this? Thanks in advance! Andreas
