Description Patrick Nicolas 2012-09-22 19:40:44 UTC

/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service calls /usr/bin/gdm --nodaemon
Now /usr/bin/gdm is a shell script that starts gdm in background, and does not have a --nodaemon option.
Calling /usr/sbin/gdm-binary directly fixes the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
boot with systemd
start gdm

Should be fixed in 3.6.0, which reintroduces the --nodaemon patch, and uses a more systemd-friendly pam.d configuration.
