[Bug 1824588] Re: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen
This was tricky but I finally got a successful boot (following several failed boots) using gdm3 by selecting the kernel with "e" from grub and then removing 'quiet splash'. So I hope this is more helpful. ** Attachment added: "prevboot.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+attachment/5256203/+files/prevboot.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824588 Title: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks. Unfortunately that log is not helpful because it contains only one boot done in recovery mode with modesetting disabled: Apr 15 14:33:53 lance-desktop kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.0.0-11-generic root=UUID=ddacea78-cdda-4236-94c3-4c4d9d3dad20 ro recovery nomodeset Please reproduce the black screen problem once (ensuring that you are not booting into recovery mode*), then reboot again once, and then run: journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt to collect the log of the previous boot which had the problem, and send us the file 'prevboot.txt'. * To ensure you are not booting in recovery mode, as soon as the purple screen appears tap Escape. Then search through the menus and choose a kernel to boot that is not recovery mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824588 Title: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1824588] Re: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen
Method used to collect this info: (1) Fresh installed 20190413.2 choosing not to auto-login. (2) Rebooted after install and surprisingly gdm3 appeared as it should so I booted to desktop and just rebooted. (3) That reboot failed as had been the previous case - just a black screen, totally unresponsive. (4) Performed a hard reboot with the reset button on the PC, entered recovery from grub menu, then installed lightdm, and rebooted. (5) Collected info as instructed. So there are a total of 3 boots. The first was successful - no problems. The second booted to a black screen instead of displaying gdm3 screen. Third boot was performed using lightdm. ** Attachment added: "prevboot.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+attachment/5256045/+files/prevboot.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824588 Title: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1824588] Re: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen
Slight change in behavior testing a fresh install of 20190413.2 - if installed with auto-login switched on logout did load and give the expected choices of Ubuntu and Ubuntu w/Wayland. But if auto-login is turned off I still get a black screen on reboot. I suspect that gdm3 is not even loading because I've tried blindly opening a tty, logging in as root, and sudo reboot but nothing happens. Once again just installing lightdm (I haven't tried the old unity- greeter) gives me a working machine. By looking at the changelog nothing has changed in gdm3 so I'm unsure why the logout behavior would have improved with a fresh install?? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824588 Title: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This does appear to be hardware related because I encounter no problem on a box with Intel G41 graphics but the X4500 is a no-go with gdm3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824588 Title: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1824588] Re: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen
I found that turning auto-login off resulted in booting to a black screen so after unsuccessfully trying the nomodeset boot option I installed 'lightdm-gtk-greeter' and 'lightdm' from recovery mode which gives me a working system. I had encountered no problems with desktop behavior but this box has Intel GMA X4500 graphics (old-ish I know) so I wonder if it could be related to bug #1727356? Having installed 'gnome-shell-extensions' package from the repos I'm able to boot and run all three available sessions - Ubuntu, Ubuntu w/Wayland, and "Classic" with no apparent issues as long as I use lightdm instead of gdm3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824588 Title: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
