GNOME not starting up automatically

Just updated to system image v5 on my Reform (A311D). Selected GNOME desktop during setup but at every boot it ends up in a root bash and it is necessary to type su - ditlev and sudo systemctl start gdm3 to get to the desktop. What to do?

Yeah, GDM is strange somehow in that it doesn’t use a clean systemd unit (?). What you can try is:

sudo apt install --reinstall gdm3
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

And then reboot, does that work?

Thanks for the reply, Lukas

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 gave an error.

What worked was this:

sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
sudo ln -s /lib/systemd/system/gdm3.service /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
