I had the same problem, and also solved it with uncommenting WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf. I don't even have nVidia..!

The same workaround seems to be working for bug 1798790. Although that is about the proprietary Nvidia driver and this one is about nouveau (which also means Jeffery seems to be commenting on the wrong bug). Not sure if we can or should merge the two bugs. ** Tags added: nvidia -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796614 Title: [nouveau] Ubuntu 18.10 boots to a blank screen with a blinking cursor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1796614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have this problem. Differences for me: I have a RTX 2080 and installed Nvidia's 410.78 driver manually. Whenever I boot, I too get the black screen with a blinking cursor. I also have the ctrl+alt+F3, login and run startx This brings me to the gnome desktop instead of the traditional Ubuntu desktop. I am not really sure how to fix this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796614 Title: [nouveau] Ubuntu 18.10 boots to a blank screen with a blinking cursor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1796614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Caveat: Thanks Christopher... I duplicated your solution by editing the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf Everything seems to be working again. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796614 Title: [nouveau] Ubuntu 18.10 boots to a blank screen with a blinking cursor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1796614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
