    Greetings,
    I saw the GDM when it came in on the update, but how would one know that it is being used.

    pstree -s $(pidof X)
    init───lightdm───Xorg

    No question there were greeter problems, but I'm not seeing a difference and my greeter has been working ok for a few days prior to the current update.

    Thanks for the reply. There are a lot of changes going on with mir compositor and xorg and so these things are par for the course. I think it is something specific to this machine that is a problem that I did not fix a while back. So I am about to try and fix that now .

    Regards..
