--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-session-bin Version: 3.28.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Upgrading the system * What was the outcome of this action? Login to GNOME session (Xorg) using a display manager such as lightdm and sddm no longer works * What outcome did you expect instead? Working login to a GNOME session using a standard display manager in Debian/testing I can't login to a Xorg GNOME session using a standard display manager such as lightdm or sddm for a certain time. Thishow I like to report this bug. Login to a GNOME session (Xorg) works fine using xinit and .xinitrc from a login to the console. Also I can login to Enlightnment and twm from a display manager such as lightdm and ssdm, which works fine. Login from a display manager using "GNOME" or "Default Xession" (which has exec gnome-session at the end) does not work. Can you please have a look at this. I can't find any errors in .xsession- errors. After supplying the correct password the screen gets blank something tries to load and then I get thrown back to the login window of the display manager.
