Re: [Bug 1795637] Re: No login screen when booting Cosmic due to plymouth racing with the rest of the boot process and not releasing DRM devices in time
Hi Will! Just wanted to follow up with some good news and maybe something you folks can use to help fix this one should it ever come around on the guitar? :) I found I was able to get Gnome to start up correctly on boot if I just add this line to the [daemon] section of /etc/gdm3/custom.conf: WaylandEnable=false I added that as a comment to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1796614 If I have more time I'd love to dig into the C code and figure out what about Wayland detection is failing - the Alienware 17 R5 has the Nvidia GTX 1080 as well as the Intel graphics chipset for longer batter life when not gaming / doing high end 3D. I wonder if the Wayland detection is getting fouled up on that? Anyway, I am loving 18.10 now that I have the issues ironed out. Once again thank you for all the work you do on both the software and the community! -Chris On Fri, Oct 12, 2018, at 3:35 PM, Will Cooke wrote: > Hi Christopher.

Almost anything which breaks the boot can have that symptom. I would suggest not having a meta-bug otherwise it'll be reopened and re-closed every time.

Hi Christopher. Yes, we think this bug is fixed, but the "only getting a flashing cursor" problem is a different bug. We're still working on it right now.

[Bug 1795637] Re: No login screen when booting Cosmic due to plymouth racing with the rest of the boot process and not releasing DRM devices in time
Hi there! I'm looking for suggestions on further testing I can do to disambiguate the situation I'm seeing from this bug. I reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1796614 which was marked as a duplicate of this bug. However, I now have this package installed (Output of apt policy below), and I am still seeing a blank screen with a blinking cursor at initial boot, but can flip to a different VT, login and run startx and everything functions normally. Am I A) Mis-understanding what I need to do in order to test this fix, or B) missing some other subtlety that would lead to my expectations that this bug should go away to be invalid or C) in fact observing a different bug altogether that isn't a duplicate of this one? Any hints anyone can throw my way would be very much appreciated.

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.9.3-1ubuntu10 --- plymouth (0.9.3-1ubuntu10) cosmic; urgency=medium * Grab some commits from upstream: + 0009-renderer-support-reactivating-renderer-without-closi.patch, 0010-main-Only-activate-renderers-if-the-splash-uses-pixe.patch: Fix (or at least improve the situation regarding!) toggling of renderers on and off, e.g. when pressing escape multiple times to switch between text and graphics. + 0011-drm-Remove-unnecessary-reset_scan_out_buffer_if_need.patch: See the patch for a detailed description, but it avoids some cases of renderers becoming active unnecessarily, which is related to... + 0013-device-manager-don-t-watch-for-udev-events-when-deac.patch: Don't process udev events after we've been deactivated. These can cause renderers to activate, which might make them claim DRM master and never release it, causing wayland / Xorg to fail. (LP: #1795637) * git_ensure_tty_closed_0a662723.patch: + Re-cherry-picked, as it had been rebased before. The filename is now a lie, since I took the commit instead of the merge, but kept as-is for a more sane diff. -- Iain Lane Wed, 10 Oct 2018 20:40:30 +0100 ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu Cosmic) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795637 Title: No login screen when booting Cosmic due to plymouth racing with the rest of the boot process and not releasing DRM devices in time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1795637/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
