Re: gdm broken after update
By the way, I am using wayland which is ok for most things, but one app I was using (docky) does not work and seems to be unusable on wayland... other that for that I might just use wayland as it is not so bad now.

Re: gdm broken after update
yes in the boot which returned the error
That will not work, remove that config or comment the "WaylandEnable=false" entry.
The journal doesn't show lightdm at all - still same GDM problem.

Wait I posted a boot with GDM (the main goal was to start an xorg session with GDM for which the workarounds don't seem to work), of course when I used Xorg on gdm I had set the entry as WaylandEnable=false. I will post a complete boot with lightdm later.

I disabled gdm, enabled lightdm, commented the WaylandEnable=false entry, and when I tried to login on xorg it crashed:

It's been said over and over, GNOME doesn't support xorg anymore. Stop trying to use it. Start reading the thread you're posting in.

Sorry I did not read carefully two pages of this thread... I understand now, my choice is wayland or another de.
