Well, the problem I have ocurrs randomly and I saw it in Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04. In the prior version I get the typical “stopping user manager for uid” message, but in the most recent version I only see some information about storage I always see in the system boot, nothing apparently bad. I always use the official NVIDIA blob driver from the Proprietary GPU Drivers PPA, but the I also saw the bug in drivers provided by Ubuntu’s repositories. I used Linux Mint 19 for one month and I didn’t see the bug, so I think that origin is from Ubuntu’s stack. I suspect of two components and three possibilities: -GDM. -NVIDIA Prime. -Both combinanted. I’m trying a workaround setting nomodeset in the file “/etc/default/grub”. The line: ----- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ----- Is now: ----- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" ----- After modify the file I executed the “sudo update-grub” command. Until now I didn’t see the bug again, but it’s too early to make sure. If I don’t see the bug again in two months I will declare the bug solved for me, but this is not the "out of the box" behavior you expect from a system like Ubuntu.
