gdm

I was using gnome desktop manager, then I changed the file

./etc/X11/default-display-manager

to nothing, so the login would be made via command line. The problem is that there's a file created in the same folder with the name

default-display-manager~

But when I boot the pc gdm starts to load and never finishes. I tried to acess the shell via recovery mode but I'm not able to modify files.

Please assist, I'm in chaos!

After a successful upgrade, GDM shows no users on the login screen, with the error message: "gdm-simple-greeter no seat-id found" Users can log in via text mode. A recovery user can startx without issue. I'm convinced this is an issue with GDM… >>> More
