GDM doesnt start anymkre, can run GNOME?

Today I booted up my.laptop and suddenly GDM wasnt loading up anymore. I get a black screen with my cursor but thats it. No log in names or input or anything.

In getty I did systemctl status gdm.service:

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled; vendor present: disabled)
Active: active (running) since 13mins
Main PID: 527 (gdm)
Tasks: 3 (limit: 4915)
CGroup: /system.slice/gdm.service
              -527 /usr/bin/gdm

Systemd1: starting GNOME display manager
Systemd1: started GNOME display manager
Gdm527: childprocess -583 was already dead
Gdm527: childprocess -559 was already dead
Gdm527: unable to kill session worker process
Gdm527: gdmdisplay lasted 1.4 seconds
Gdm527: childprocess -765 was already dead
Gdm527: childprocess -749 was already dead
Gdm527: unable to kill session worker process

Any ideas?

Re: GDM doesnt start anymkre, can run GNOME?

Fixed...

my attempt of creating dummy-packages for "spying packages" also broke GDM. The following dummy packages are okay:
geoclue2
geocode-glib

How ever, faking the package "libgweather" will break GDM/GNOME.
