Bug#801749: gdm3: Does not start anymore

[Christophe Schockaert]

Package: gdm3
Followup-For: Bug #801749

After upgrading to current testing/stretch, the problem disappeared.

The versions for gdm3 and gnome-shell did not change from my previous mail.

There are 2 messages left in dmesg, but they appear only once:

<log src="dmesg">
[   53.168027] systemd-logind[2456]: Failed to start user service, ignoring:
Unknown unit: user at 107.service
[   53.181329] systemd-logind[2456]: New session c1 of user Debian-gdm.
[   86.052490] systemd-logind[2456]: Failed to start user service, ignoring:
Unknown unit: user at 1000.service
[   86.058723] systemd-logind[2456]: New session 2 of user r3vlibre.
</log>


So, there is something that must have been fixed, but I don't know what was
broken, since I didn't change the configuration before it started to fail.


Regards,
Christophe
