After installing plymouth_0.9.3-3_amd64.deb gdm3 STILL DOES NOT START. Without haveged installed lightdm still takes AGES to start.
plymouth 0.9.3-3 is NOT a resolution to this. And PLEASE change the title back. The original complaint was: gdm3 does not start, not that the boot process never completed. As I said: "In both cases I can see the X process running (Xwayland or Xorg) but no vt has it." Follow your own advise on comment #19 and do not group the gdm3 issue together with the delay on lightdm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779476 Title: Boot process hangs indefinitely. Never finishes.

What happens: ============= With and without: WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf gdm3 does not switch to graphics. In both cases I case the X process running (Xwayland or Xorg) but no vt has it. lightdm does work, but barely. It takes up to a minute to get to the login screen. What I expected to happen: ========================== gdm3 switching to graphics in ~20 after boot like pre-update.
