--- Begin Message ---Package: gdm3 Version: 3.14.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, the changelog reads: * Systemd has been fixed in v222 to no longer kill services on reload if BusName is set, so drop that part from 92_systemd_unit.patch. but that is EXACTLY what happened to me right now, in the middle of doing some work. That's highly unacceptable IMHO. I ran an apt-get upgrade, and suddenly my X session closed and I was brought back to the gdm login screen. Pretty busy right now, but do let me know what could help to pinpoint this issue and I'll try to provide more details. ~David -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.40-2 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii awesome [x-window-manager] 3.5.6-1 ii dconf-cli 0.24.0-2 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.24.0-2 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii gir1.2-gdm3 3.14.2-1 ii gnome-session-bin 3.16.0-1 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.16.2-3 ii gnome-shell 3.16.3-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.16.1-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.40-2 ii libaudit1 1:2.4.2-1 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-2.1 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.4-2 ii libgdm1 3.14.2-1 it libglib2.0-0 2.44.1-1.1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.44.1-1.1 iu libgtk-3-0 3.16.5-1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-systemd 222-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.9-2 ii libselinux1 2.3-2+b1 ii libsystemd0 222-1 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.2-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1+b1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 iu metacity [x-window-manager] 1:3.17.2-4 ii mutter [x-window-manager] 3.16.3-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-10 ii rxvt [x-terminal-emulator] 1:2.7.10-6 ii ucf 3.0030 ii x11-common 1:7.7+9 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+4 ii xfce4-session [x-session-manager] 4.12.1-3 ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.6.3-1+b2 ii xfwm4 [x-window-manager] 4.12.3-1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 318-2 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.16.0-1 ii desktop-base 8.0.2 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.12.0-1 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7+2 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.17.2-1 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+9 ii zenity 3.16.3-1 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: pn gnome-orca <none> ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.16.0-4 -- debconf information: * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm3 gdm3/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm3
