I cannot get gdm to work in a VM either; it starts, but I just see a black screen.
I tried under LXDM in Debian sid, but that doesn't seem to register any session at all ("w" is empty except for the table header). I also tried gdm3 on sid with the default (Cirrus), -vga virtio, and -vga vmware, and in none of these cases it starts. Maybe it needs some configuration after apt-get install gdm. So perhaps someone could try this under Ubuntu GNOME? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380364 Title: lightdm writes XDISPLAY instead of tty device name to utmp record To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1380364/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
