I found that turning auto-login off resulted in booting to a black screen so after unsuccessfully trying the nomodeset boot option I installed 'lightdm-gtk-greeter' and 'lightdm' from recovery mode which gives me a working system. I had encountered no problems with desktop behavior but this box has Intel GMA X4500 graphics (old-ish I know) so I wonder if it could be related to bug #1727356?
Having installed 'gnome-shell-extensions' package from the repos I'm able to boot and run all three available sessions - Ubuntu, Ubuntu w/Wayland, and "Classic" with no apparent issues as long as I use lightdm instead of gdm3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824588 Title: Ubuntu Disco boots to or logs out to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1824588/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
