Title:
Unable to arrive at Desktop using gdm3
Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial daily build dated 12 April.
I added gnome-shell but still used lightdm to log in.
Lightdm works OK with both gnome-shell and unity.
I changed the greeter to gdm3 (sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm) and the
subsequent log in provided a wall of text and stopped booting.
I could not get to a terminal to reconfigure the greeter and I had to
switch off the PC via the power button.
I was unable to change the log-in greeter using the Ubuntu recovery
system.
Following an internet search, I added an instruction to the grub entry
to allow me to boot directly into a bash command shell to reconfigure
and reboot with lightdm.
Instruction is:- "add the following to the end of the line starting with
/boot/vmlinuz…
–add rw init=/bin/bash"
