Public bug reported: After upgrading my office machines to 18.04, some machines did not start the GDM3.
After some testing the problem was that the ones that it did not work, had SDDM installed too (KDE environment in those machines). The upgrade were from 17.10 and 16.04. Note that reistalling sddm, gdm3, lightdm, dpkg-reconfigure gdm3, none worked. On gdm3 side: systemctl is-active gdm3 reports static (which might be the problem). After removing sddm and rebooting, everything worked as expected. ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: sddm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: sddm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769969 Title: GDM3 does not start if SDDM is installed (18.04) Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: New Status in sddm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrading my office machines to 18.04, some machines did not start the GDM3.
