*Have not had a GDM3 boot attempt because they all failed (40-50 times.) I
think the SLiM errors may be due to this dm "not requiring systemd." I'm
sure SLiM is not a good display manager for a system that relies on
systemd. For the time being, however, it's the only recourse that enables
me to log into Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic. Fortunately, I am not seeing any
problematic artifacts so far. I have limited time for troubleshooting, so I
won't trouble you further. Thanks for your time*
