Looking at hungboot.txt I am starting to think maybe the login screen
('gnome-shell' process) is actually running in Wayland mode but failing
to display. That would explain a lot...

Pat, can you please reproduce the bug again and while it is happening:

 1. SSH into the VM.

 2. Run 'pidof gnome-shell' to find out the process ID of that process.
Tell us if you don't get a result.

 3. If you do get a result from step 2 then using that PID run:

    sudo kill -ABRT PID

    where PID is the process ID number.

 4. Wait 30 seconds.

 5. Hopefully a crash report will have been generated so now follow:
