Bug description:
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.2 desktop in a virtual machine under VMWare
Fusion Pro V11.1.0 on MacOS Mojave 10.14.5, all on a 15inch 2018
Macbook Pro.
I've been running this Ubuntu 18.04.2 VM without problem for many months
without problem.
Yesterday, I did 'sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade'. Upon rebooting, the
system hangs immediately after displaying the splash screen. I never see a
login screen. And I can't use Ctrl+Alt+F2 to navigate to a console/tty login.
I can SSH into the system however.
I've found that I can work around the hang/freeze if I uncomment the
following line in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf;
#WaylandEnable=false
After uncommenting the WaylandEnable=false line and rebooting, then I
see the login prompt as expected and I can then log in and use the
system normally again.
After the 'apt upgrade' my system is running linux kernel 4.15.0-51,
as shown in this 'uname -a' output;
Linux ubuntuvm1 4.15.0-51-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 15 14:27:21
UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
