Public bug reported:
Note, I have kde and gnome installed. Previously I was using lightdm,
but since this was removed with the upgrade, I chose to use gdm. When
booting, gdm did not start but instead I was at a shell login prompt. No
errors were present in syslog or dmesg. dmesg output is attached.
I could start the x server by executing `startx` from the CLI. I then
issued a `dpkg-reconfigure sddm` and selected sddm, then `dpkg-
reconfigure gdm` and selected gdm. It gave me some sort of error about
invoke-rc.d, so I then did `invoke-rc.d gdm3 start`, and it started gdm
fine without rebooting. Then on next reboot as well, gdm started. So I'm
not sure what there actually caused it to work.
