Bug#1120802: reportbug: gdm3 failed to start and screen shows cursor blinking only.

[larryw3i]

Package: gdm3
Version: 49.1-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading gdm3 to 49.1. *, I started my laptop and the interface of gdm3
no longer displayed, only a flashing cursor. I switched to tty and tried to
start it using "gnome shell --wayland" or "gnome shell --x11", but both failed.
You can see my screenshots in the attachment. I hope you can fix it.
Thank you very much!

Regards,
larryw3i
