[Bug 1832138] Re: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx using bionic kernel 4.15
bionic-proposed confirmation: I have tested the updates in bionic-proposed with the VM I created for this bug as described in comment #63 and can confirm this, like the test in comment #75, also resolves the issue. The login screen appears as expected after reboot (with kernel and updated packages for gir1.2-mutter-2, gnome-shell, gnome-shell-common, & libmutter-2-0). uname -a before: Linux test-vm 4.15.0-52-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 4 22:49:08 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux uname -a after: Linux test-vm 4.15.0-55-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 2 18:22:20 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832138 Title: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx using bionic kernel 4.15 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1832138/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Additional confirmation... Looks like this updated kernel fixes the issue on the affected test VM I created. Using the detailed directions in comment #75, I was able to install the new test kernel and reboot. Verified the expected version value with uname and then installed the packages that were previously hanging from the copies I archived with the test VM and rebooted. Login showed up and functioned as normal. This appears to be the ideal fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832138 Title: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx using bionic kernel 4.15 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1832138/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Here is the last of the output after running the first test repo update command in comment #73 on the Bug1832138VM.zip VM I built. I'm guessing either there is an integrity issue upstream or more likely there is a missing step so that a system that has been using the default repo settings is superseded by the test repo for the updated package(s). If I ignore these errors and upgrade after update I get the 49 year hang on reboot.

[Bug 1832138] Re: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx but installing kernel >= v4.17-rc1 (or using WaylandEnable=false) fixes it
Because it was mentioned in comment #15 & #34 that this bug cannot be reproduced, I decided to create a VMWare VM from scratch which managed to be affected on my first attempt. I started with ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso (19e10acddd14af9a9150399d876b02933c0ee724) and created a snapshot with all the live packages, as of today (06/19/2019), except for the 4 I noted in comment #28. Simply start the VM, update the out of date packages via the internet or via the provided copies of the deb files on the desktop, and reboot to reproduce the bug (infinite UI hang before login).

I have regular snapshots of my ESXi virtual machines and so using a snapshot before updating packages, I was able to install as many packages as I could before login broke in the way everyone is describing. I got down to the following packages: gir1.2-mutter-2/bionic-updates 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 amd64 [upgradable from: 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.2] gnome-shell/bionic-updates 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 amd64 [upgradable from: 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.2] gnome-shell-common/bionic-updates,bionic-updates 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 all [upgradable from: 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.2] libmutter-2-0/bionic-updates 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 amd64 [upgradable from: 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.2] Seems the recent troubleshooting is on the right track. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832138 Title: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx but setting WaylandEnable=false fixes it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1832138/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
