crude understanding is that systemd handles system initialization,
calling bpfilter (replacing iptables) which is handled by the linux
kernel.

SOLVED (MAYBE)
For me, it's not nVidia, it's not WaylandEnable. It may be the "Started
bpfilter" message, which I earlier thought was nothing. I don't know
beans about this, but I checked, and bpfilter is a recent replacement
for iptables in many Linux distros, and it's handled in the linux
GDM3 fails to start, stalled at 'started bpfilter' on my HP laptop
(model hp15-ay016nr) which runs Intel graphics, no nVidia hardware or
drivers. So, this is not strictly an nVidia issue, which began after a
Sat 8 December upgrade.
Booting previous kernels did not fix the problem. Disabling
The same workaround of commenting Wayland worked for me, also, before
reading this, i got it to work doing this procedure:
1 choose recovery mode
2 enable network
3 continue normal boot
The other workaround works better, but maybe this help to find the

The same workaround seems to be working for bug 1796614. Although that
is about nouveau and this is about the proprietary Nvidia driver. Not

The following workaround worked for me, no problems now (140.107 -
Ubuntu 18.10):

Edit the file /etc/gdm3/custom.conf it also worked for me.
If someone had tried installing lighdm you can go back to gdm by doing
sudo service lightdm stop
sudo reboot

Just to say that I've tested the '#WaylandEnable=false' method (I was
having the same problem with the nVidia drivers) and it works great!

Thanks. I think I can see the problem now.
The first thing that happens is that gdm3 tries to start a Wayland login
screen ('gnome-shell' process) and fails because the Nvidia driver
doesn't support KMS:
