*Have not had a GDM3 boot attempt because they all failed (40-50 times.) I
think the SLiM errors may be due to this dm "not requiring systemd." I'm
sure SLiM is not a good display manager for a system that relies on
systemd. For the time being, however, it's the only recourse that enables
me to log into Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic. Fortunately, I am not seeing any
problematic artifacts so far. I have limited time for troubleshooting, so I
won't trouble you further. Thanks for your time*

Although that new log from comment #19 is more useful. It shows GDM

2018-12-13 Thread Daniel van Vugt
There are two main issues I can see:

1. The 'pixel-saver' extension may be causing some bugs so maybe remove
it while debugging.

2. You haven't actually had a gdm3 boot attempt since 9 December. So the
failures you are experiencing recently are from SLiM, which makes this
bug invalid for gdm3.

I recommend reinstalling Ubuntu and if a problem occurs with a clean
installation then run:

  ubuntu-bug gdm3

to create a new bug.

I'm sorry, I got confused between the full journal file and the previous
boot journal file. This is the previous boot as requested. The huge
compressed .xz file is the full journal.

#journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt

This is a recent apt history log. Perhaps it may provide an extra clue
to the cause. The boot failure began after the December 9 update.

Unable to take screenshot of the boot hang (duh) so I copied verbatim
the two lines that appear in a *backlit* black screen (not sure if the
backlight makes a difference,) and added a note about changes in the
power button behavior during boot time. This could be related to my
removal of timeout delays in grub2.

I guess I could have taken a photo w the phone. Not worth the time.

I don't think "Starting bpfilter" will be related at all. Likely that's
just the last message you happen to see before the hang occurs.

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  This is not a question, but I found no thread to report this bug and
  workaround on NON-NVIDIA-BASED systems:
  
  Ubuntu 18.10, kernel 4.18.0-12-generic, GNOME Shell 3.30.1 on X11, after
  a Dec 9 update:
  
  Boot hangs at message, "Starting bpfilter." Gnome Display Manager
  (login) fails to start. No keyboard response, tapping the power button
  just once immediately initiates power-down. Other users have reported
  successfully fixing this by removing nVidia drivers or disabling Wayland
  in GDM3 (uncommenting WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf.)
  
  However, my HP laptop runs Intel graphics, and has no nVidia drivers
  installed.
  
  WORKAROUND
  I selected Enable Networking in Recovery Mode, then Drop to Shell Prompt 
(root,) and ran 
  
   apt update && apt install slim
  
  to install SLiM display manager. the installation prompted me to choose
  SLiM or GDM as the default, I chose SLiM, and was able to login finally
  (after rebooting 50+ times.)
  
  If you already have an alternate display manager installed, you can
  switch with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and select the alt dm.
  
- This will probably be just a provisional workaround for the "bpfilter
- hang" on non-nVidia systems if all the other suggested solutions didn't
- work for you. BTW, I also tried LightDM a former Ubuntu DM, but got the
- identical bootup hang.

Please:

1. Run 'apport-collect 1808125' to send us more information about the
system.

2. Take a photo of the problem if you can.

3. Run 'journalctl > journal.txt' and attach the file 'journal.txt'
here.

4. Run 'lspci -k > lspcik.txt' and attach the file 'lspcik.txt' here.

this command:
   journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt
