[Bug 1770850] Re: Login Screen text missing
Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop didn't change anything. So I tried to find other posts with the same problem. It seems my English was not good enough to use the best keywords in the previous searches. But this time I found something new: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029784/ubuntu-18-04-missing-letters-in-login-screen/1034235 Especially the picture there look exactly like mine. And that pointed me to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1760201 So I tried setting WaylandEnable=false and it seems to work I do not understand what that will do and the it feels more like a workaround than a fix, but that's god enough for me. Maybe this will help your analysis of the root cause. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770850 Title: Login Screen text missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1770850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1770850] Re: Login Screen text missing
Thank your for the fast answers. I have to admit I am just an Ubuntu user not an expert, so your recommendations were difficult for me. What would "startx" do? My login screen is strange, but afterwards graphical desktop is running. In another thread I found for "reinstall ubuntu": sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get build-dep ubuntu-desktop Correct? Afterwards I'll look what "gtkorphan & bleachbit" mean. Additional remark: I am using the cinnamon desktop. Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Can that be the reason that some recommended packages were not installed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770850 Title: Login Screen text missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1770850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looks like the 'recommended' packages are not installed. Plymouth 'recommend' either plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text or plymouth-theme >From a tty console, run startx You can reinstall 'ubuntu-desktop' to see if other packages are also missing. Take time to clean the system after a dist-upgrade, via gtkorphan & bleachbit (as root, carefully select options) and reboot. Finally glance at warnings/errors via 'journalctl-b' ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770850 Title: Login Screen text missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1770850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
