Title:
adding GUI to Ubuntu Server 20.04 results in no log in screen
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
apt install ubuntu-desktop on Servers with embedded Matrox G200
Graphics Controller issue
After install/reboot there is no gdm login displayed
Editing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf to force gdm to use Xorg instead of Wayland
fixed the issue
Ubuntu 19.10 has the same problem
Same issue found installing the Desktop Version
Had to force the /etc/dgm3/custom.conf to use xorg from Grub recovery
mode
Conclusion being - should we try to fix this?
There may already be a fix in process
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/364
Here are three proposals if the above does not pan out, one of these should
work, Number 3 is preferred
1. Fix Wayland’s support for G200
2. Rip out the broken support for Matrox G200 in Wayland
3. Convince Canonical to blacklist the G200 from Wayland during install and
force Xorg automatically
