[Bug 2122294] Re: gnome-session-init-worker crashes with SIGTRAP (Failed to start unit gnome-session-x11@gnome-login.target: ...: Unit gnome-session-x11@gnome-login.target not found.)

 

@Daniel, what this command should do `grep -rl 'gnome-session-x11' /etc
/usr | sort`?

In /etc I didn't find any reference to this string, and I filtered files with this name under /usr:
```
➜ find /usr|grep -i 'gnome-session-x11'
f:=find
/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session-x11-services-ready.target
/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session-x11-services-ready.target.wants
/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session-x11-services-ready.target.wants/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XSettings.service
/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session-x11-services.target.wants
/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session-x11-services.target.wants/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XSettings.service
/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session-x11-services.target
```

About the other command I got:
```
➜ grep -r gnome-login.target /usr/lib/systemd
/usr/lib/systemd/user/org.freedesktop.IBus.session.GNOME.service:Conflicts=gnome-session@gnome-login.target
```
I will check what package has this first .target files and check if I can delete them/remove the package.
I also will edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and edit to comment that line.
IIRC I got the error and then I edit it because I thought X11 was being called and then I should force Wayland, even it was the default.

Bug description:
  I restarted my machine today, and it was odd how long took to GDM appears. For some reason it seems it was in a crash loop. Normally after the boot it appears turning on my external display, and than appears the GDM. But this time it entered in a loop turning on and off my external display.
  I can say that because appears an OSD written "HDMI 2" when it turns on the display.
  I hope the logs can give you more details about it.
