I originally reported the issue to Ubuntu in [1]. I'm using those mount options for added security/privacy. On older releases this used to work fine. 1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1754401 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/1754401/comments/5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2018-06-13T19:48:13+00:00 Ajax-a wrote: Booting with hidepid=2 on a Fedora 28 machine, X starts with no problem. Presumably some other part of Ubuntu's setup is getting confused by this. It would be helpful if you could strace X startup to see why it doesn't think it can find the console.

I removed the "quiet splash" args from /etc/default/grub but it didn't help. Using "nomodeset" makes the graphical session almost work but the brightness of the screen is so low that I cannot use it and can't make it brighter either.
