Subject: gnome: Gnome fails to start on login and falls back to GDM3
From: Bastian Venthur <venthur@debian.org>
Date: Tue, 04 Jul 2023 08:55:38 +0200
Message-id: <168845373834.52630.6363426700433301898.reportbug@fiona>

Package: gnome
Version: 1:43+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: venthur@debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

since yesterday, Gnome fails to start and falls back to GDM3 when I try to
login. I cannot start gnome on wayland nor xorg anymore. Gnome classic fails as
well. Falling back to the terminal and trying `startx` does also not start
gnome either. Installing something else (MATE) helps.

Since there was no upgrade in Gnome recently, I suspect that one of the
dependencies got an upgrade. I do vaguely remember evolution, systemd and libc6
being the biggest updates today.

Here's some output of journalctl that looks suspicious. Maybe it helps you:
