Bug description:
ubuntu cosmic desktop 20180925
After installation gdm fails to start and there is only a black screen
with a blinking cursor on the top left of the screen.
gdm3 can be started manually from a tty.
Switching to another tty then back also starts gdm.
It happens on bare metal and VM.
Originally, when this issue happened there was a plymouth crash
reported in bug 1794292 but this issue is still happening without the
plymouth crash.
