With 18.04 the situation got worse. Apparently, the login screen tries
to run now on Wayland as well, so the opportunity to turn it off is
gone. Booting simply stops at the Ubuntu logo, with the first of these
five dots filled.
Booting in recovery mode, then choosing 'continue'(?) gives a black

Thank you! This is valuable information.
So far I thought that the bug is about gnome-shell not starting. With
this solved, it's now mutter. Well, interesting adventure game :-)

I fully agree this bug is valid and needs to be fixed. I only disagree
with Sebastian's selection of High importance in the bigger picture.
"cannot open display" either means it's an X app and XOpenDisplay failed
(Xwayland isn't running because mutter failed to start). Or it means
it's a native
Daniel, your current efforts apparently put much emphasis on alienating
users capable of fixing bugs. Also on getting rid of allies for low end
hardware support.
I really wish you had put half as much efforts into explaining the
software situation a bit. For example, what does this "cannot open
Let me emphasise that I have been the champion of supporting "older"
hardware. I have spent weeks of my life just getting Mir working on the
original Atom chips. And before that even trying to support Pentium 3's.
But the decision isn't up to me. My work on Pentium 3 graphics was cut
off by Mesa
Success, part II:
When attempting a Wayland session, the relevant syslog section grew from
107 lines to 396 lines. 'gnome-shell' messages are gone, it looks like a
session gets actually started. And then there are now a lot of messages
like this one:

Success! Applying the attached Diff keeps gnome-shell working for Xorg,
still makes these shader compilation errors going away. More of this
success see next comment here.
This Diff is not a solution, of course, but it should narrow down the
problematic area a lot.
** Patch added:
Great to see you're into supporting "old" hardware. I'm pretty sure the
times when people bought new hardware every other year are long gone.
This G33 PC is a Core2Duo 2.1 GHz and it's perfectly up to speed for all
the daily tasks, including software development.
"Older" hardware also comes with
You should both be aware you're preaching to the converted. When we
encountered these kinds of problems in Compiz/Mir/Unity8, I was the one
fighting to keep old hardware supported and performing well. I will
still fight to keep older hardware working well because there's no
reason why the software
Having the default desktop not working on a class of hardware seems an
High issue indeed, the GNOME bug tracker might be a better place to
discuss it though since that's where the people working most on gnome-
shell are more likely to read the comments

Intel integrated graphics is probably the most widely used PC graphics
on this planet. The problem is apparently that shaders are called
without being present, which applies to many most recent hardware
platforms as well. Calling it High is more than accurate.
Instead of trying to discuss the
As the G33 graphics chipset is 10 years old it will be difficult for
developers to find hardware to test on. And unlikely very many users
will encounter the problem.
We definitely want to fix this, but calling it High importance is
probably not accurate.
