Bug#897975: gdm3: System fails to boot due to GDM restarting constantly.
Package: gdm3 Version: 3.28.1-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, After recent update system is unable to boot due to GDM3 constantly restarting. Journal contained message "IceLockAuthFile fail: Already exists" before GDM exiting and starting againg. Other than this I was unable to find any other issue.

Bug#897975: gdm3: System fails to boot due to GDM restarting constantly.
Package: gdm3 Version: 3.22.3-3+deb9u1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, I just wanted to confirm that I also encountered this bug on a debian stable installation. I also see the "ICELockAuthFile fail: Already exists" message in the systemd journal. Removing /var/lib/gdm3/.ICEAuthority* and restarting gdm.service fixed the issue temporarily until the next reboot.

Package: gdm3 Version: 3.22.3-3+deb9u1 Followup-For: Bug #897975 Dear Maintainer, after recent upgrade, gdm3 also fails to start as for the other reportes. It doesn't even switch to graphical mode and so the few text boot messages stay visible. In contrast to previous reporters, I do not see the "ICELockAuthFile fail" error in my logs. To narrow down problems I enabled debug mode in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf (as attached) and then gdm3 simply starts. Disabling debug mode makes gdm3 fail again.

This might be interesting, as there is one (EE) entry from the X-Server seen in the gdm3 debug log (see 3) 2) I enabled debugging in the gdm3 configuration - in my case gdm3 still fails. The error message in the logs (see attachment) is: (EE) open /dev/fb0: Permission denied 3) I disabled wayland in the gdm3 configuration - gdm3 still doesn't start 4) As a workaround I installed lightdm - which works fine.

Looks like it does boot after ten minutes or so. It seems only Wayland variant of gdm is failing. Gnome on Wayland has no issues though.

Hi, I'm having the same issue and removing the. ICEAuthority* files fixed the issue here as well. Thank you for the fix Philipp 😉.
