Description:
After upgrading my laptop it would hang hard after a reboot; even caps-lock light didn't work. After reverting glib2, glibmm and glib-networking from 2.36 to 2.34 the machine doesn't hang anymore, but gdm still wont start. The journal says: Apr 24 18:52:35 spider007.spider007.net gdm[287]: GLib-GObject: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g_type_init() Apr 24 18:52:35 spider007.spider007.net gdm[287]: GLib: g_once_init_leave: assertion `result != 0' failed Apr 24 18:52:35 spider007.spider007.net gdm[287]: GLib-GObject: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed Apr 24 18:52:35 spider007.spider007.net gdm[287]: GLib-GObject: g_object_add_weak_pointer: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Apr 24 18:52:35 spider007.spider007.net kernel: gdm[287]: segfault at 18 ip 0000000000424d83 sp 00007fff911cad60 error 4 in gdm[400000+3c000] Apr 24 18:52:35 spider007.spider007.net systemd[1]: gdm.service: main process exited, code=dumped, status=11/SEGV Apr 24 18:52:35 spider007.spider007.net systemd-coredump[289]: Process 287 (gdm) dumped core.

Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: Recent versions of glib2 work fine here. Downgrading major versions without downgrading all other packages is not supported.

@zilluss, thanks; I am reading that thread now
glib2 is an exception though, upstream wants to maintain backwards compatibility there.
