Can't get GUI login screen on Debian Jessie [after upgrade from Wheezy]
16,592
UPDATE
I found a workaround after reading these bug reports: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785782 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=724731
In my case the workaround was installing lightdm as display manager.
sudo aptitude install lightdm
This also prompts you to choose it as default display manager.
However this still doesn't solve the apparent bug in gdm3...

Upon boot GDM3 is correctly started but hangs at the splash screen and no GUI login box appears. The only way to log into the system and graphical interface is following these steps:
CTRL+ALT+F1- logging in
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop && startx
What could be broken?
I tried
dpkg-reconfigure gdm3to no avail... Also,grep EE etc/X11/xorg.confdoesn't return any error.-
