Public bug reported: After installing 22.10 beta, the gdm3 does not start properly. This happens only if in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf :
[daemon] # Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg WaylandEnable=false (...) The line with WaylandEnable is commented out or set explicitly to WaylandEnable=true. Then the system boots into the state when the screen is black, there is underscore "_" present in top left corner, one can ssh into the system, but keyboard input is ignored. With WaylandEnable=false the system is fully functional. Before the update, with WaylandEnable=true the have been no such problems. I will attach any logs upon request. Below those that I thought of on myself: Description: Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu (development branch) Release: 22.10 gdm3: Installed: 42.0-1ubuntu7 Candidate: 42.0-1ubuntu7 Version table: *** 42.0-1ubuntu7 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu kinetic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Note that the system logs have been created as follows: 1) I booted the machine with WaylandEnable=true, 2) I sshd into the machine, changed WaylandEnable to false, and restart gdm3 so the last few entries will likely describe the proper "x11" launch of the gdm3. cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i gdm3 is attached as gdm.log ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.10 Package: gdm3 42.0-1ubuntu7 [modified: lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.19.0-18.18-generic 5.19.7 Uname: Linux 5.19.0-18-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.23.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Oct 7 10:29:20 2022 EcryptfsInUse: Yes SourcePackage: gdm3 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to kinetic on 2022-10-06 (0 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.apport.crashdb.conf: 2021-05-03T18:07:38.595923 mtime.conffile..etc.gdm3.custom.conf: 2022-10-07T10:28:39.739012 ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug kinetic third-party-packages ** Attachment added: "gdm.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992150/+attachment/5621997/+files/gdm.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992150 Title: black screen with "_" with enabled Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1992150/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
