gnome-shell's failure to bind can also be caused by namespace.conf settings, currently gdm/gnome-shell etc do not take this into account, breaking gdm which worked fine without wayland. https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man5/namespace.conf.5.html Now, if you have in that file: /tmp/tmp/tmp-inst/ userroot,adm gdm etc write their files to /tmp/.X0-lock /tmp/.X11-unix/ and so on, but gnome-shell tries to open the files at /tmp/tmp-inst/luser/.X11-unix/ (after private namespaces have been polyinstantiated). -- 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/1806257 Title: gnome-shell excessive logging cannot bind to x11-unix Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since the latest mutter upgrade mutter:amd64 3.28.3-2~ubuntu18.04.1 to 3.28.3-2~ubuntu18.04.2 the login screen can no longer be reached.

For some reason (I cannot remember) my root filesystem node "/" had the owner set to my user. I guess this used to work for some time. And some change in mutter or related packages made this break. Changed back owner to root.root and system is now starting properly. Don't know what to say about the system failing in such an obscure way. -- 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/1806257 Title: gnome-shell excessive logging cannot bind to x11-unix Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since the latest mutter upgrade mutter:amd64 3.28.3-2~ubuntu18.04.1 to 3.28.3-2~ubuntu18.04.2 the login screen can no longer be reached.
