Package: gdm3
Version: 3.14.1-7
Severity: important
File: gnome
Dear Maintainer,
A month ago, I upgraded wheezy to jessie when it became stable. Since
then, when opening a session, Gnome often (more than half of the time) fails.
It tries to open the session but after 1-2 seconds go back to login
screen. This happens with both sessions already opened (using the
switching user function) and all session closed.
Restarting gdm3 (/etc/init.d/gdm3 restart) and re-attempting to login
works but the next attempt 1 hour later will need gdm3 to be restarted.
