[Bug 1832138] Re: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx using bionic kernel 4.15

[Gary Filipski]

Tested bionic-proposed with both original VM that exhibited the problem
on upgrade and a separate VM used to test the work-around (uncommenting
WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf).

Both VMs upgraded and ran successfully using
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed.

-

# First test w/older VM that first exhibited the problem...

# [ No network card present ]
# Booted from old, saved VM where update first screwed up:

$ uname -a
Linux linuxTest 4.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 6 14:45:28 UTC 
2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# Added bionic-proposed repository in update / developer options
# [ Enabled network card for VM ]
# Updated to current; restarted
# Booted & logged in normally

$ uname -a
Linux linuxTest 4.15.0-55-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 2 18:22:20 UTC

# Yea!

# Second test with VM used for later testing of the problem...

# [ No network card present ]
# Re-tested with more recent problem VM...
# Removed fix in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf (re-commented WaylandEnable=false)
# Booted to watch login hang
# {Shift} boot w/Grub in recovery mode to recovery mode menu; resumed startup.
# Logged in (desktop @800x600); re-set desktop width

[Bug 1832138] Re: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx using bionic kernel 4.15

[Gary Filipski]

Additional confirmation...

Working under VMware Workstation v12.5.7 running kernel 4.15.0.52:

Having performed the workaround of uncommenting the
WaylandEnable=false...

   - Re-commented the line & rebooted to experience the hang with the
Ubuntu logo before the login screen

   - Using your ppa, installed the test kernel.

   - Rebooted.

Login proceeded normally: Linux linuxTest 4.15.0-53-generic
#57+hf231164v20190620b11-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 20 13:18:41 UTC 2019 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thank you!

[Bug 1663737] Re: --execute changes following -h to --help

[Gary Filipski]

The man page for the version that I have does not mention '--' nor the fact 
that the --execute
option is obsolete --- BUT!   ... the '--' option *does* work and functions as 
desired with
the command-line you gave...   the '-h' is echoed properly.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

The man page probably needs to be updated as even the 'Zesty' version still 
shows the
--command and --execute options (and no '--') with the same description as 
16.04 LTS.

Egmont,

The man page for the version that I have does not mention '--' nor the fact
that the --execute
option is obsolete --- BUT!   ... the '--' option *does* work and functions
as desired with
the command-line you gave below...   the '-h' is echoed properly.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

The man page probably needs to be updated as even the 'Zesty' version still
shows the
--command and --execute options (and no '--') with the same description as
16.04 LTS.

Thanks,
Gary

PS: I've added this text as a comment to bug report.

[Bug 1663737] [NEW] --execute changes following -h to --help

[Gary Filipski]

Public bug reported:

Description:Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release:16.04

gnome-terminal:
  Installed: 3.18.3-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.18.3-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.18.3-1ubuntu1 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Create a bash script called echoParams.sh somewhere in your current path
(attached):

#!/bin/bash
for param in "$@"
do echo "param '$param'"
done
echo -n "Enter to finish..."
read junk

Execute the following:

$ gnome-terminal --execute echoParams.sh -h

In a new terminal window the output is:

param '--help'
Enter to finish...

... meanwhile, back at the command line:

$ which gnome-terminal
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal

$ gnome-terminal --version
GNOME Terminal 3.18.3


The '-h' is being translated and passed as '--help'

... which is no help at all if the --execute command expects '-h'.

All puns intended.

** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: New

** Attachment added: "The echoParams.sh script listed in the bug description."
