Do you happen to know whether gdm also fails after selecting gnome one screen earlier (in the desktop selection screen) during install?

login screen was from sddm, 
(as it also includes Plasma5 in the install)

I meant to say: installing gnome from the three option -kde, gnome + other page installs also plasma5. see bug Bug 17952 
this presents the sddm login screen.
choosing gnome here presents the gnome desktop.
how-ever as it also installed all of the plasma5 programmes,(and I prefer to test a single DE set of applications at a time), I reinstalled from the "other"selection page.

then the reboot failed and I had to change desktop managers.
