I'm unable to start the gdm service on a recently installed gnome
desktop (~x86): the service continuously fails and restarts with the
errors below. If I disable the service and login into a text console,
startx works fine but the Gnome session misses some features (e.g.
screen lock). I enabled debug logging on gdm but nothing significant
appears.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

raffaele
