I just upgraded stable GNOME 3.24 to 3.30 and GDM stopped to work. It works according to systemctl, but there is no display. At the PC boot GDM gray background appears, but than disappears. > emerge --info Portage 2.3.62 (python 3.6.5-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/gnome/systemd, gcc-8.3.0, glibc-2.28-r6,

nvidia... great.. If you log in to console and launch /usr/libexec/gdm-wait-for-drm does it exit immediately or wait for some seconds? Also what's the return code from it? /usr/libexec/gdm-wait-for-drm echo $? Does it work if you comment out the "ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/gdm-wait-for-drm" line from /lib/systemd/system/gdm.service temporarily? I think I'm on the wrong track here, but just my first thoughts on what to check. I can't do any of that myself, as this is probably nvidia specific issue.

No. Same result. > nvidia... great.. For my ~15 years Linux experience I had very few issues with NVidia cards starting from some MX 200 card :-) Closed sources, but just work well with my setups.
Sorry for noice, but with startx session I have no issues. Only GDM stopped to work.
So with `XSESSION=Gnome startx` you get a working full GNOME session too? Note that ~/.xinitrc presence messes up startx for GNOME needs quite a lot.
(In reply to Mart Raudsepp from comment #8) > So with `XSESSION=Gnome startx` you get a working full GNOME session too? > Note that ~/.xinitrc presence messes up startx for GNOME needs quite a lot. I have ~/.xinitrc that contains: export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- exec gnome-session I don't use XSESSION environment variable. With that setup startx give me full GNOME session (except that I need to reenter my password to unlock keyring).
Please try without .xinitrc and with XSESSION env var instead. .xinitrc presence makes startx not handle /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d at all, which contains a lot of stuff that people don't replicate in their .xinitrc. Like you are missing a more complete dbus user session, XDG dirs update, GNOME specific XDG dirs setup (for some autostarts for example), cursor setup and potentially more. Or put otherwise, please try with this full setup, to see the problem isn't something in there, as opposed to gdm itself.

are there any relevant crash reports in coredumpctl?
# coredumpctl No coredumps found.
"--with-initial-vt=7" configure options fixes this issue for me. Also I tested GDM 3.32 with same behavior.
Finally found misconfiguration of my systemd-logind. I had "ReserveVT=1" in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, so systemd just guarded VT1 from gdm. Thanks for help.
