Bug#749374: gdm3: Disable gdm3 service for systemd doesn't work

[stijn]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,


I prefer to login via textmode, in the past that always has worked.
Since a while gdm3 has to be installed or gnome-shell doesn't work but i
disabled it so it didn't startup at boottime.
But now gdm3 is always starting at boot, even I've disabled the gdm3 service
over and over again.

It's quite annoying that i have to do this everytime again so it's probably a
bug.

I always disable gdm3 service with this command:

# systemctl disable gdm3
Synchronizing state for gdm3 with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
