Because it was mentioned in comment #15 & #34 that this bug cannot be reproduced, I decided to create a VMWare VM from scratch which managed to be affected on my first attempt. I started with ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso (19e10acddd14af9a9150399d876b02933c0ee724) and created a snapshot with all the live packages, as of today (06/19/2019), except for the 4 I noted in comment #28. Simply start the VM, update the out of date packages via the internet or via the provided copies of the deb files on the desktop, and reboot to reproduce the bug (infinite UI hang before login).

My reproducer: 1) I used virtualbox 6.0.0 on disco (my desktop machine) # I guess it doesn't really matter but I prefer giving more details than less ;) 2) Deploy a VM with Ubuntu 18.04.1 (which come w/ 4.15) 3) Make sure in the VM setting that the display uses 'VMSVGA' which will force the OS to pick 'vmwgfx' video kernel driver. (you can confirm with 'lspci -nnvv' command. 4) apt-get dist-upgrade Then reboot and the login screen won't be shown again using v4.15 kernel. Switch to 4.18 will work.

To continue on my comment #59 ... One user has been impacted on a physical machine (non-vmware) with the same symptom but can't provide public details unfortunately, but I witnessed the problem from my own eye via remote session, and again upgrading to 4.18 kernel did the trick. So it really seems like 4.15 is possibly incompatible at some point with the current mutter package. That is my believe with the level of details that I know for now and what has been shared to me.

as an fyi ... It has been brought to my attention that this could impact other system (outside vmware context) so I still suspect a userspace change (possibly mutter) that introduce behaviour change and break the interaction with certain part of the 4.15 kernel.

of if we identify the offending userspace change, then we can look at the kernel again and try to find what bit are missing, and if we limit the kernel change then maybe the side-effect won't be present too.

The patchset is significant already without knowing yet what is missing to address the side-effect. I would need kernel team review/approval before thinking to SRU this into Ubuntu 4.15.

Thanks Pat. That seems to confirm the 'regression-update' tag here. Although I wouldn't be able to debug and fix the mutter change because I can't reproduce the bug, using VMware. Mine just works :/ It sounds like good progress is being made in the kernel anyway. So I think a fix there would be preferable.

Building a kernel with "37efe80ce85f drm/vmwgfx: use monotonic event timestamps" being the HEAD doesn't exhibit the issue. I'm now building and about to test 37efe80ce85f^1 (AKA 20fb5a635a0c) to confirm. In theory it should fails with "20fb5a635a0c" if "37efe80ce85f" is the one. - Eric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832138 Title: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx but installing kernel >= v4.17-rc1 (or using WaylandEnable=false) fixes it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1832138/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Pat, Re comment #19, your crash (hang) reports there seem to show the gnome- shell process behaving normally (in poll) and not stuck at all.
