Package: gdm3
Version: 3.34.1-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
In my gdm3 screen:
https://people.collabora.com/~koike/gdm3-screen.jpeg
Clicking on buttons on top won't do anything, and when selecting a
user, clicking in the gear button to select a Desktop Environment also
doesn't do anything (which is particularly annoying since I would like to
switch between Gnome, Gnome on Xorg, Xfce and others).
Also, when I press enter on top of an user to add my password, the "Not listed?"
appears in front as shown here https://people.collabora.com/~koike/gdm3-screen-not-listed.jpeg
I can type my password and login normally, but it would be nice to easily switch
desktop environment.
I tried switching from Wayland to Xorg by editing /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf with
WaylandEnable=false
But I get the same results.
The command:
sudo journalctl -b -g gdm
doesn't seem to show anything relevant http://ix.io/2hMK
Please let me know where I can find relevant logs, or how I can get more information
to help debug this.
Thanks a lot for your work as a maintainer.
