Indeed sounds like the issue I was having -- marking as a duplicate. FTR, I no longer see an issue with gdm3; but I had reinstalled my system with Ubuntu-GNOME directly, and in that case it worked; so it was indeed due to some issue with what is different between Ubuntu and Ubuntu- GNOME. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1686257 gdm3 fails to start when default session-name=ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675933 Title: gdm fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1675933/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
