Note: gdm-x-session is the parent process, not the failing one. The actual reporting prociess is Xorg As far as I know, gdm (3.16.x) wants to launch X either u+s or integrated with systemd-logind. Both conditions are not met currently in openSUSE:42 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
