I am using:

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

My GDM version is:

$ gdm3 --version
GDM 43.0

I have disabled wayland and using xorg.

Details Of Debian User:

$ cat /etc/passwd | rg gdm
Debian-gdm:x:112:121:Gnome Display Manager:/var/lib/gdm3:/bin/false

The icon is located in /usr/share/icons/Bibata-Modern-Ice.

Following ArchWiki, I have run the following commands:

xhost +SI:localuser:Debian-gdm
/usr/bin/sudo -u Debian-gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'Bibata-Modern-Ice'

It did not change the theme.

Again, I have also tried /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults.

[org/gnome/desktop/interface]
cursor-theme='Bibata-Modern-Ice'
cursor-size=32
text-scaling-factor=1.25
gtk-theme='Solarized-DarkArc-Cyan'
icon-theme='Solarized-Dark-Cyan-Numix'

Then ran sudo dconf update.

Still The cursor theme is not changing (though it changed the cursor size).

What can I do?
