After buster upgrade gdm login not working
After upgrading to buster, attempting to login using gdm returns me
immediately back to gdm, with the session apparently failing to start
up correctly. I've tried to figure out what's going wrong but I'm a
bit stumped and I could use some help resolving this.
After looking through logs for a while, I suspect that this error
message from the X server might be the best clue as to what's going
wrong:
(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Permission
denied)
Another possible clue is this error message that precedes that:
(EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 6292 does not belong
to any known session
I'm attaching the full log from the X server, as well as portions of
/var/log/messages and /var/log/auth.log from around the same time as
this attempted login that might be related.
