      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Use the graphical environment.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Critical. I cannot use RHEL 10.0 to manage my DB.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      mutter-47.5-3.el10
      gdm-47.0-4.el10.s390x
      gnome-shell-47.4-2.el10.s390x

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      100%

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Install "Server with GUI" into a KVM VM with virtio-gpu device (and input devices):
        # virt-install --memory 4096 --vcpus 4 --os-variant rhel-unknown --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --input keyboard,bus=virtio --input tablet,bus=virtio --disk size=10  -l <install_tree_http_url> --name vm
        # virsh dumpxml vm --xpath //graphics
        <graphics type="vnc" port="5900" autoport="yes" listen="0.0.0.0">
          <listen type="address" address="0.0.0.0"/>
        </graphics>
        

        Connect to VNC port 5900 and follow the steps. In order to get "Server with GUI" we need to use the unified URL (installer doesn't allow for several urls)

      1. After successful installation, reboot and connect via VNC

      Expected results

      I can log into GNOME Shell

      Actual results

      I see graphics but no option to log in (root password and root ssh login have been configured). I don't see the log in dialogue.

      Additional information

      1. When I install with the DVD it works well both when I add a non-root user as well as when I don't:
        1. When at installation setup I configure an additional non-root user, I see the login screen
        2. When at installation setup I don't configure an additional non-root user, I see a welcome screen that guides me through user creation
      2. Maybe not gdm issue but I don't know where to report this
