Bug#692814: gdm3 is not staring normally

package: gdm3
severity: critical
version: 3.6.1-1

In /var/log/gdm3/:0.log I can see this error message (complete log
attached :0.log.error)

DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_APERTURE failed: Bad file descriptor
Assuming 131072kB available aperture size.
May lead to reduced performance or incorrect rendering.
get chip id failed: -1 [9]
param: 4, val: 32653
Xorg: ../../intel/intel_bufmgr_gem.c:2783: drm_intel_bufmgr_gem_init:
Assertion `0' failed.

But when I go to single user mode (using grub "recovery mode" menu)
and start manually /etc/init.d/gdm3 it start successfully. Once I exit
from single user mode, I can get the gdm3 screen and login. Attaching
the log of gdm3 after it started successfully (:0.log).

Every time I boot, I have to use the same work around and it is not
intuitive either.

Let me know if you need any other log files.

Thanks
Praveen

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
