[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1686257@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package gdm3 - 3.20.1-1ubuntu2.1

---------------
gdm3 (3.20.1-1ubuntu2.1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Add git_restore-session-name-override.patch:
    - Explicitly set gdm's session-name to 'gnome'. This fixes the login
      screen not starting when the default session is set to something else,
      such as when a Ubuntu (Unity) user installs gnome-shell and chooses
      gdm but does not install ubuntu-gnome-desktop (LP: #1686257)

** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu Yakkety)
       Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------
  If a person installs gnome-shell (and not ubuntu-gnome-desktop) on Ubuntu and choose gdm3, they will be unable to log in.

  Workaround: install ubuntu-gnome-default-settings

  This reverts a change that was made in gdm 3.16.

  Test Case
  ---------
  From Ubuntu (Unity), run
  sudo apt install gdm3

  Choose gdm3 when prompted.
  Restart.
  You should get a login screen. Your desktop session (Unity or whatever) should still be the same as whatever you last successfully logged in with.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  This patch was accepted upstream. It only affects the default session for the 'gdm' system user.

  Other Info
  ----------
  ubuntu-settings contains this in /usr/share/glib-2.0/10_ubuntu-settings.gchema.override

  [org.gnome.desktop.session]
  session-name="ubuntu"

  gdm3 fails to start unless session-name="gnome"
