Bug Description

[ Description ]

The second stable release in the 3.28 series.

[ QA ]

Log in, log out, log in again. Get your password wrong. Try different sessions. Lock the screen, try to swtich to a different user.

We have a GNOME SRU exception allowing us to assume that upstream's fixes are good, and they don't require explicit QA. Please test gdm as per the above smoke testing. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME)

(In this case there's bug #1766137 which will get explicitly tested.)

[ Regression potential ]

A bad GDM update will, at worst, mean that people can't log in graphically.

Hello Iain, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gdm3 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/3.28.2-0ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Verified that it is working for me.
Note, since the verification, I've since received a downstream patch on GDM3 from Pop!_Os repo's which also works.

    "blank" screen. (LP: #1766137)
