[Bug 1779476] Re: Boot process hangs indefinitely. Never finishes.

2018-07-07 Thread Charles Burns
Further to the above on wireless start, booting into *.23 kernel, Bionic loses 
all the retarding
symptoms for Gnome start and for wireless network start.

Installing plymouth 0.9.3-3 over the distro 0.9.3-1 had no effect on this 
system - amd64 - either.
Steps taken with dpkg for a hash-checked .deb were:

Unpacking plymouth (0.9.3-3) over (0.9.3-1ubuntu7) ...

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130ubuntu3.1) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-24-generic

Apt complained about some redundancies, which I deleted.

After uninstalling haveged, the system hung indefinitely once more at various 
advices of processes waiting, depending on the 3 restarts I tried. GDM featured 
variously, as did utmp.  Not knowing  much at that level, I can only report 
that plymouth 0.9.3-3 doesn't fix the hang I reported upthread.  Nor does it 
change the lack of either keyboard or usb mouse/touchpad access for at least 
90s of that hang.
Another symptom, just noticed because of all the restarts, is that wireless 
networking gets a
significant delay before kicking in after the handover to Gnome - about 30s.  
With the 16.04 I dual
boot this machine to, wireless networking is ready to go almost as soon as the 
UI is up.

Reinstalling haveged returns the good handover to Gnome - about 20s, but 
wireless networking stays
slow to begin its work.

Note that uninstalling plymouth 0.9.3-3 returns the listing of 0.9.3-1 to the 
system, but a
couple of the Ubuntu display dependencies needed also to be reinstalled to get 
back a
coherent recognisable splash screen progress.
Probably time for me to get familiar with using the shell at startup.  That UI 
looks like a real
curate's egg and this is a significant bug (or set of bugs maybe).

@Mark, I just used the browser and let the software installer mime-type
binding take care of it.

Be warned: after installing this my splash screen was gone (it was using
xubuntu theme), so you may need to reconfigure that afterwards

After installing plymouth_0.9.3-3_amd64.deb gdm3 STILL DOES NOT START.
Without haveged installed lightdm still takes AGES to start.

plymouth 0.9.3-3 is NOT a resolution to this.
And PLEASE change the title back.

The original complaint was: gdm3 does not start, not that the boot process 
never completed.
As I said:

"In both cases I can see the X process running (Xwayland or Xorg) but no
vt has it."

Follow your own advise on comment #19 and do not group the gdm3 issue
together with the delay on lightdm

Why was the title changed? It DOES NOT MATCH AT ALL the symptoms I
