Hi there,
I noticed that alot of the time my Debian VM gets to only the Login GDM page, but the actual login prompt/dialog is missing. This seems to happen after I have logged in, vmware tools auto resizes the window and when the VM reboots - the dialog is gone. After several auto-fits and reboots... it comes back.
Anyone seen this? Or have any work arounds? I tried manually setting the VMs display size, but that did nothing as well.
FIXED:
Known issue in Debian - I updated this note for myself at
