Package: gdm3
Version: 3.26.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
gdm3 fails to start. It worked fine until several weeks ago, when
some update broke things. (I've tried rolling back a few packages
with no success.) There is very little information in the logs. Any
suggestions for debugging this would be appreciated.
