Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When logging in I often get only the "Oh No! Something went wrong" message.
Sometimes I have to log in and out several times before I can sucessfully log
into the system. I did not see anything useful in any log file, please tell me
which log files you want and I will post them here.
