Package: gdm3
Version: 3.8.4-6
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I upgraded gdm3 package (and its dependencies) version 3.8.4-6 to 3.8.4-7.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Then, the tomorrow, when I startup the computer, I was unable to login:
- [ok] I got the login screen
- [ok] I selected my user name
- [ok] I typed my password
- [ok] I submited (clicking on the connect button, or pressing return)
- [ko] gdm3 tried to start a Gnome session, but the screen went black and I got
the login screen back again, with my user name selected and this message:
authentication failed…
- [ko] I tried to type my password again, but I was unable to submit it (a
loading indicator ran and never stoped)
- [ko] then, gdm3 did not respond any more
- [ko] I tried to restart the computer
Finally, I downgraded gdm3 to 3.8.4-6 from a Virtual Console (and everything
got fine).
