Package: gdm3
Version: 3.18.0-2
Severity: important
After the update to 3.18 GDM3 does not allow me to login properly into my X
session. I just does not start. If I do a 'service gdm3 restart' in the tty
the only thing that happens is a flicker in the monitor.
Right now I'm loggin into my session longin into the tty and startx.
Journalctl shows this http://pastebin.com/zNR0Sy0R
Thanks.
