Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-6
Severity: important
Hallo,
I have installed Debian Wheezy RC1 x64 and while authenticating locally, GDM3
worked fine. As soon as I switched to LDAP-based authentication, GDM3 dosen't
even display login screen, only clocked cursor on blank black background. I
also tried applying config files that worked well with Squeeze, with no effect.
Login from shell and SSH works fine. Eventually I have installed lightdm and it
works well. Therefore I assume this is GDM3 related bug.
