Package: gdm3
Version: 41.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #969106
Dear Maintainer,
For a few days, I am not able to start a X11 session with default settings of
gdm3 (tried: Gnome in Xorg, Plasma in X11; lxqt) (I suppose gdm3 is in Wayland
mode from some time now ?). Login succeeds, but come back to login screen
almost instantly.
I can start plasma in wayland and gnome in wayland.
I am able to start Windowmaker (Why this one, I do not know. It is definitely a
simpler but only X11 window manager )
When I fallback to X11 in gdm3 daemon settings, everything is ok.
Note: I am using a recent optimus laptop (thus with software muxer) with the
nouveau driver. It may be related as Wayland is still buggy in my usage (using
gnome or plasma): I have frequent change in display settings with external
screen on usb-C dock and various videoprojectors (VGA or HDMI).
