Hi and thank you for your reply!

That server is a VM on a cloud host provider but their manager interface can connect to it via VNC, which I suppose requires a physical display so it may be not technically headless.

ps aux|grep -v grep|grep "/usr/lib/Xorg"

returns nothing so I reckon I don’t have an X server running?

Which brings more questions then, especially given the wildly different behavior I’m experiencing:

I used to be able to open the session directly, and now I’m faced with the GDM login screen, which is redundant
I used to be able to resize the display to the size of the window, but now the display resolution is fixed and can only be stretched, selecting the 1:1 display option just shoves the display in the upper left corner or snaps the window back to its original size when resized

Is there a way to get the previous behavior back?

Thanks a lot!
