Upon successfully upgrading PureOS 8.0 distribution based on linux-image-4.12
to linux-image-4.14
, 700+ packages have been installed or upgraded from the Purism repository as of 2018.01.20
that is Jan 20, 2018:
% tail /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://repo.puri.sm/pureos/ green main
% sudo apt update
% sudo apt upgrade
% sudo apt full-upgrade
...
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
GDM3 service has also been upgraded from version 3.24 to 3.26 which exhibits regressive behaviour. Starting at the GDM3 login screen, upon selecting the account, filling the corresponding password, and hitting the “Sign In” button with “GNOME” option, there is a short visual distortion of the screen and the login screen appears again without any error message.
Logging into a virtual terminal such as /dev/tty3
, reveals a newly generated core file along with a recently modified authentication file:
% echo ${UID}
1000
% file ~/core
~/core: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, \
from '/usr/bin/Xwayland :0 -rootless -terminate -core -listen 4 -listen 5 -displayfd', \
real uid: 1000, effective uid: 1000, real gid: 1000, effective gid: 1000, \
execfn: '/usr/bin/Xwayland', platform: 'x86_64'
% file ~/.ICEauthority
~/.ICEauthority: data
The same GDM3 service instance remains active at all times:
% dpkg -l gdm3 | tail -1
ii gdm3 3.26.2.1-3pureos1 amd64 GNOME Display Manager
% systemctl status gdm3
* gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager

Has anyone else experienced this regression, and knows how to fix it?
