Package: gdm3
Version: 3.12.2-2.1
Hi,
gdm isn't giving me any option to log in anymore.
After I boot, I get this nice black screen. With previous
versions I had to do annoying slide afterwards to unlock the
screen and I could still log in. With the current version
just moving the mouse shows me something, but it's showing me
a clock and some icons with things like network settings in the
upper right corner. There doesn't seem to be any way to actually
select or type a username and password.

Cool, thanks.
My understanding is that it wasn't actually a bug in gdm, but a local
misconfiguration issue. Closing accordingly. Feel free to reopen
and/or reassign to the responsible package if I missed something.
Still, maybe gdm could try to detect whether pam_systemd.so is active,
and provide a clearer error message if it isn't the case?
Cheers,
