> gnome-shell[30907]: Failed to create backend: No resources I don't think that's an error. It's just telling you the Nvidia driver doesn't support Wayland (which always gets tried first). In theory gdm3 is then meant to drop back to Xorg in this case (as Seb says). But some Nvidia users (including Laney) have reported that this fallback doesn't work for them:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bugs?field.tag=nvidia So this bug is possibly a duplicate of one of those. Please try this as a workaround: edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment the line: #WaylandEnable=false Reboot, and if that fixes the problem then it appears to be a duplicate of bug 1798790. ** Changed in: oem-priority Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: nvidia ** Also affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811668 Title: oem-config fails on Nvidia GPU machine on 18.04.1 Status in OEM Priority Project: Incomplete Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: More an nvidia driver fail but happens in a oem-config scenario : - Install 18.04.1 on an Nvidia GPU machine ( desktop or laptop) - full-upgrade - ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ( To get nvidia drivers) - Reboot and confirm nvidia driver work great - oem-config-prepare - Send machine to client - client goes through oem-config wizard normally - instead of going to the new desktop , client gets a blackscreen - After reboot he always get a black screen. - If he logs into TTY1 , he can login and startx to get a gnome3 desktop.
