Tested bionic-proposed with both original VM that exhibited the problem on upgrade and a separate VM used to test the work-around (uncommenting WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf).
Both VMs upgraded and ran successfully using https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # First test w/older VM that first exhibited the problem... # [ No network card present ] # Booted from old, saved VM where update first screwed up: $ uname -a Linux linuxTest 4.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 6 14:45:28 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # Added bionic-proposed repository in update / developer options # [ Enabled network card for VM ] # Updated to current; restarted # Booted & logged in normally $ uname -a Linux linuxTest 4.15.0-55-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 2 18:22:20 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # Yea! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Second test with VM used for later testing of the problem... # [ No network card present ] # Re-tested with more recent problem VM... # Removed fix in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf (re-commented WaylandEnable=false) # Booted to watch login hang # {Shift} boot w/Grub in recovery mode to recovery mode menu; resumed startup. # Logged in (desktop @800x600); re-set desktop width $ uname -a Linux Linux linuxTest 4.15.0-52-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 4 22:49:08 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # Added bionic-proposed repository in update / developer options # [ Enabled network card for VM ] # Updated to current; restarted # Booted & logged in normally $ uname -a Linux linuxTest 4.15.0-55-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 2 18:22:20 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # Yea! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832138 Title: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx using bionic kernel 4.15 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1832138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
