Public bug reported: Test Case ========= Install Ubuntu 17.10 from a recent daily image. After install log in. sudo apt install gdm3 Choose gdm3 when prompted. Restart your computer.
The bug is that gdm refuses to start Workaround ========== Install gnome-session More Info ========= For smoother upgrades and to allow the option of a more vanilla GNOME experience, it was decided to try to continue to use an ubuntu-session package by default containing an "ubuntu" session that identifies as "Ubuntu" and runs GNOME. We don't want or need the GNOME sessions in the default install. This is more fallout from https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=f66cdfcb so let's try reverting that change.
