I installed the 20.04 Gnome ISO this morning - direct to disk - not in a VM.
No issues during the installation but upon rebooting I couldn't get past the login screen. I'd enter my password and the screen would flicker and I'd be put back to the login page. Switching to a terminal and looking at the Xorg log showed me that it was crashing.

Closing log file. Some googling lead me to a page which pointed the finger at gstreamer. Removed it and that resolved the issue. I should point out that I elected to not download updates during the installation process, so maybe if I had done so, this issue would be corrected before I got to see it but I can confirm Xorg was crashing on a freshly installed, 20.04 right out of the box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861609 Title: [focal] Xorg crashed with assertion failure (usually in a VM) at [privates.h:121: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion `key->initialized' failed] and call stack comes from DRIMoveBuffersHelper To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1861609/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
