Same recovery as doing init 3 init 5 you get back to the Gnome greater
screen with the session ended. We have looked at the Xorg log files and
see nothing wrong in them. Our case is not intermittent. We have tried
both VGA and HDMI connections and get the same results. We have also
reviewed dmesg and the /var/log/message log files. Nothing seems to get
logged. We have checked for selinux avc issues and tried login in
selinux Permissive mode. Second check just now indicates that a
systemctl restart gdm.service gets us back to the Gnome greater screen
but then we were not able to select a user for login.
