Public bug reported:
I normally have a second monitor plugged into my laptop. Recently in
Ubuntu 18.04 (this is a regression that has happened in the last week or
so), when I boot the laptop I get presented with a blank login screen.
(The external monitor just shows the background screen, so it looks as
if gdm3 has hung or crashed.)
If I unplug the external monitor, gdm turns the primary screen back on
and I can log in.
