Package: gdm3
Version: 3.14.1-3
Followup-For: Bug #771762
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Trying to run GDM3 at startup or with service gdm3 restart
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
service kdm stop; dpkg-reconfigure gdm3; service gdm3 start
* What was the outcome of this action?
GDM3 does not work in Debian/testing
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Running and working GDM3
currently in Debian/testing GDM3 is broken for me.
It seems it tries to spawn a Xorg instance but fails with that.
I'll give the system logs below:
