I recently installed Debian 13 RC (trixie) on VMWare using the net install image and during the installation I opted out the desktop environment. After the installation, I installed the gdm3 packages and rebooted to a black screen with a blinking underscore.
For comparison, I repeated the exact same process on Debian 12 (bookworm) and was able to boot into the graphical interface without any problem.
I'm using VMware Workstation 17 Pro, so I'm not sure if this is nvidia GPU related.
I was wondering what would be the root cause of this issue.
PS: I do notice that the dependencies for gdm3 packages for trixie and bookworm are slighly different.
