I think you mean "the installation disc was able to do it
automatically".
This is expected. The reason is that the installation disk uses Xorg as
the display server so that's the same as the workaround mentioned in
comment #5.
The problem after installation is that the login screen itself defaults
to using Wayland instead of X, and so you will hit the problem there
first.
** Summary changed:
- [radeon] Every time I boot up ubuntu, the login screen looks like a static TV
screen. This does not occur with other login manages, only gdm3
+ [radeon] Wayland sessions including the login screen are just static noise

Title:
[radeon] Wayland sessions including the login screen are just static
noise
Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Ubuntu Version 18.04 LTS
gdm3:
Installed: 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 500
Package name: /etc/gdm3
Whenever I boot Ubuntu following installation from the official
install ISO, the boot screen appears, but the login manager appears as
static, scrambled graphics, making me unable to login without opening
the VT and installing lightdm and switching to that login manager.
Expected Results:
Login manager appears with login field, background, and menu while I am able
to find, click, and enter information into the login text fields.
Actual Results:
Scrambled noise appeared on my screen and I am unable to leave without
force-shutting down my Gateway PC, or opening a VT and installing lightdm,
rebooting afterwards.
