Subject: gdm boot up failure
Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2020 08:53:18 -0900

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Boot up process continues mostly like normal, but instead of going to
gdm login screen, screen gets stuck on a black screen with a flashing
cursor. I recall seeing a message in the virtual console about the "c1"
session being removed, though I can't find the text in the logs. The
messages log has messages about failing to activate an Accounts
service, and also some entries about dead gdm processes.

My messages log, and also my system description file, is attached. The
system was built using the above commit. My user profile is somewhat
behind the system but only because I could not successfully build my
user profile do to the gnutls-dane build failure. (But I hadn't even
logged in to my user at this point.)
