I did check, but there were not really good clues in the logs, among other things because it seemed that ~/.xsession-errors did not get updated. ls did report that ~/.xsession-errors belongs to me, but it still didn't update it, which is why I then removed it. But I only did that after removing gdm as well, so I don't know whether removing gdm or removing ~/.xsession-errors or both fixed it. Checking the logs again, I have only this interesting line: >Nov 29 04:24:26 localhost gdm: GdmDisplay: Session never registered, faili= ng=20 > Did you reboot after reconfiguring? I had selected the older system generation in the grub boot menu. --Sig_/QdnHWg8RhPq/ZfjIBfyAh2L Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEds7GsXJ0tGXALbPZ5xo1VCwwuqUFAl/EEJQACgkQ5xo1VCww uqWYOQgAh3buWqZWrWqh5Csg1ESpUTQu8tMbvnvMpQkWEtWet1XZeSP+N7m2JHio UKcKkquY8uQd72JcvW6F93i77QLaeHvh6KC3tAwSk+XXfbaz/lfdyJwDoW4UbcGt mf+iGcagcvvZwYi4kTiFZNVTOYyiqmooIi7D6y8zbUVvLUvKdUud2Iz+ZWMl5Avb 6J0y5sT1+zDa4uD3d9tgYNvVhtYM9lCxK0AW+eLCSC8FaAwIiG+5no4u1gV73pux kZRICe3EIcfkWuAMZV9WIGTdWDhtCJ6Mudgy+ws0xCU1/cMd0DAJIBb2CrMLu1ac m35d7dwPi+lVn3Sci7GY7ETOKf40YQ== =50Lq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/QdnHWg8RhPq/ZfjIBfyAh2L--
