Public bug reported:
gdm3:
Installed: 3.28.3-0ubuntu18.04.3
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
I expect the greeter to load every boot.
Instead, gdm3 is not stable on my system, it will work for either one or
several boots after I take corrective action, but inevitably this
results in the greeter not loading. The graphics card on my Intel Core
i5 system is an Nvidia GTX 970, and I manually installed nvidia-
driver-415 when I could not load a greeter as soon as I had installed.
Searching here and elsewhere, I have tried many things to resolve this,
which I will outline below. If you know something else I can try - to
get make gdm3 stable - please let me know.
Even with WaylandEnable=false uncommented in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf, I
usually cannot login, instead of the greeter I would see either a black
screen or graphic distortion like a black screen with some pink lines
across the top, and I am only able to login setting nomodeset.
With gd3 not working, I tried lightdm, and on encountering similar
issues switched back to gdm3 again:
sudo apt-get install gdm3
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
This seemed to work - kind of, for the first few days I could boot most
of the time. I have quiet splash permanently removed from my boot
options, and boot was sometimes hanging on Started NVIDIA Persistence
Daemon as in the attached images.
Another time with gdm3 I saw the following output instead of the
greeter, also attached.
How can I begin to resolve this issue please?
