Bug #1787698 was reported to be useless, possibly because the machine was not up-to-date, which isn't the case because mine was; so I can't be more helpful here...
Thanks, MZ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782347 Title: [radeon] GDM3 fails to load without nomodeset Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Both with the livecd (usb drive) and the installed version, I must boot with the 'nomodeset' kernel parameter at GRUB; otherwise GDM3 will not boot (the screen will keep on flashing in semi-textual mode, with a white mouse arrow stuck). This, however, prevents me from using the 'radeon' video driver, dropping me to a very basic 1024x768 vesa mode. The bug did NOT occur on Ubuntu 12.04, so it is a regression. Also, the bug does NOT occur on XUbuntu/XFCE 18.04, so it is a GDM3-Gnome related thing.
