Package: gdm3
Version: 3.8.4-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrade gdm3 to version 3.8.4-6 that just hit jessie

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Reboot the computer

   * What was the outcome of this action?

No login screen appears, but a black screen.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

A login screen.

   * Some more info

I included :0-slave and :0-greeter logs below.

I read several bug reports on gdm3 on the bug tracker but was unable to
understand if I actually face one of them.

This looks a bit like #724731, but it is supposed to be solved.

I do not really understand if it might be #729674. I use debian jessie
default kernel.

Please tell me if there's anything I can do to help you sorting out what
looks like a big mess of similar bugs to me.
