I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed which is version 20160530. After that I updated
to version 20160605 with zypper dup command. 
I was reboot then gdm crashes because of too many attempts to start.
The problem is according to the journalctl messages
as follows:

# journalctl -r

this logs looping
In each time it wants to start again, but does not succeed.

These messages are repeating (with increasing session numbers) certain times
and than *NO* Login Screen appears. Instead the screen is frozen. lightdm is
working with gnome.
