Public bug reported: [impact]
gdm on cosmic running in the autopkgtest is flaky and sometimes fails to start; when it does it causes other systemd service failures like 'user@118.service' or other services, which fail the test case. the test_gdm3 testcase was already skipped because of this in bug 1790478, the test_no_failed testcase needs to be skipped as well if gdm fails to start. [test case] the failure is intermittent, but looking through old cosmic systemd autopkgtest logs look for: May 23 11:13:38 autopkgtest systemd[1]: user@118.service: Killing process 1251 (systemctl) with signal SIGKILL.
