Package: gdm3
Version: 3.28.1-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Since very recently, when I try to log in with default choice, it does
not work. In /var/log/user.log, I see:
Apr 24 16:21:09 korell /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1202]: bash: ligne 0 :
exec: -l : option non valable
Apr 24 16:21:09 korell /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1202]: exec :
utilisation :exec [-cl] [-a nom] [commande [arguments ...]] [redirection ...]
Cheers,
