Public bug reported: I have tried to update ubuntu machine from 16.0.4.5 to 18.0.4 (by following the standard procedure to run do-release-upgrade). Despite several attempts post upgrade machine does not boot up. A black screen keeps blinking after UTMP service started.
black screen Ubuntu 18.04 black screen in VMware Here is what I have tried: Updated the owner of .Xuathority and .ICEAuthority. Verified that tmp has enough permissions. Uncomment WayLand in custom.conf under /etc/gdm3/ so that Xorg is used instead of wayland Switched from gdm3 to lightdm. I noticed a different issue - Ubuntu boots till login. Post entering the credentials system comes back to login window. I tried couple of suggestions online to fix this, but none of the solutions solved problem. I tried to install Ubuntu with the following virtual machine applications: VMware Fusion for Mac - 11.0.2 VMware ESXi - 6.5 Ensured that the computer has the minimum configuration suggested for Ubuntu 18.04. I have also posted a query on ubuntu forums with similar description.
