Public bug reported:

Hi,

I just installed 17.10 (64) from the regular 17.10 ubuntu desktop image
onto a ASRock Beebox N3150 with N3150 CPU and

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation
Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics
Controller (rev 21)

After Installation the system booted (but required the nodmodeset flag,
otherwise the screen remains black and shows just the mouse pointer or
nothing) and showed the regular graphical login (gdm I guess), but
immediately after entering the password the system reproducably froze
with a black screen. Even the mouse pointer. (Since I had no second
computer at the moment, I cannot tell whether the kernel was dead or
still working to allow network login.)

There's web pages like https://itsfoss.com/switch-xorg-wayland/ telling
how to start the session with X11 instead of Wayland, but in contrast to
this description the session selection button was absent. I then brought
the machine into recovery mode and tried to install more sessions, but
did not find the suitable package which brings the "Ubuntu on Xorg"
session.

I then gave up and reinstalled the system from scratch with Lubuntu
17.10, which worked well, and to take this as a starting point to
install other desktops like ubuntu and xubuntu. They all are installed
and work, but they do run Xorg/X11. I don't see how to make the system
start Wayland now.
