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 systemd[356]: user@32.service: Failed at step PAM spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd: Operation not permitted systemd[1]: Failed to start User Manager for UID 32. gdm-launch-environment][310]: pam_systemd(gdm-launch- environment:session): Failed to create session: Start job for unit user @32.service failed with 'failed' systemd[1]: user@32.service: Unit entered failed state. systemd[1]: user@32.service: Failed with result 'protocol'. ... /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[359]: Activated service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' failed: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with stat /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[359]: Unable to register display with display manager # grep 32 /etc/passwd gdm:x:32:32:GDM:/var/lib/gdm:/bin/false # eselect profile list Available profile symlink targets: [1] default/linux/x86/13.0 [2] default/linux/x86/13.0/selinux [3] default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop [4] default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/gnome [5] default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd * [6] default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/plasma [7] default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd [8] default/linux/x86/13.0/developer [9] default/linux/x86/13.0/systemd [10] hardened/linux/x86 [11] hardened/linux/x86/selinux [12] hardened/linux/musl/x86 [13] default/linux/uclibc/x86 [14] hardened/linux/uclibc/x86
