How do I contribute patches to packages (GitLab merge requests or diff -u + bug report)?
Hey, I wish to contribute patches to Debian packages, but I am confused about how I should go about doing so. The Debian Handbook says that using GitLab might make it easier for maintainers to merge changes, but somebody on an IRC channel told me that the old email-based workflow is still the dominant way of delivering patches to developers. I find it easier to work with GitLab. What should I do? Should my preference depend on the package maintainer's preferences? Vishal

I would like to add the following lines from executing "systemctl status gdm". ● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; static) Active: active (running) since Sat 2020-11-28 20:53:42 IST; 2h 34min ago Process: 559 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/gdm/generate-config (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 584 (gdm3) Tasks: 3 (limit: 9391) Memory: 5.5M CGroup: /system.slice/gdm.service └─584 /usr/sbin/gdm3 Nov 28 20:59:19 devMachine gdm3[584]: Gdm: Child process -2673 was already dead.

As you can see, every time I switched my console, three lines were logged. I hope this helps. Vishal
Getting "logged" out of GNOME on tty1 if switching to other ttys (Wayland)
Hey, I reinstalled Debian (bullseye) today and I noticed two changes. Earlier, both tty1 and tty2 were graphical consoles with GNOME running. Everything was pretty smooth and I could switch back and forth between the consoles easily. But now, there's only one graphical console running on tty1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and the rest are character consoles. I don't know what resulted in this change. (Was there some update between yesterday and today?) The problem is that whenever I switch to another tty (Ctrl-Shift-FX where X !=1) and I come back, I am "logged" out of my session in tty1. I am asked to enter my password again and the Debian logo is seen at the bottom, which is not the case if a session is "locked". When I lock my screen, I would see a simple digital clock which I don't see when I come back from another tty. Also, my programs aren't closed when I come back to tty1. I suspect this has something to do with GDM. Any help? Vishal
