I am simply confirming this issue. (gdm version 2.27.4-0ubuntu11) Both
on install, and when running "dpkg-reconfigure gdm", gdm returns the
issue provided by the OP.
When I try to purge gdm from the system, I get
subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
While installed, if I try to run gdmsetup, it shows the frontend, but
any attempt to "unlock" the frontend so I can change settings, results
in nothing. The window just sits there as if I'd never pressed
anything.
Running gdmsetup through a terminal window results in the following
initial messages:
** (gdmsetup:7290): WARNING **: Error calling

was not provided by any .service files

When I try the unlock button, I get the following additional messages:
** (gdmsetup:7290): WARNING **: Failed to unlock: The name
org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files
I tried installing the jaunty version of gdm (2.20.10-0ubuntu2) but x11-common
would not allow it.
I searched the debian package lists, and could find no versions of gdm (not
even in sid) that were even as recent as the jaunty version.
** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
