Public bug reported: After upgrade to kinetic I can't start Gnome Desktop under Wayland.
Until recent update to the gdm3,trying to start gdm3 with "WaylandEnable=true" in /var/gdm3/custom.conf lead to blank screen with non-blinking underscore sign in top left corner of the screen (with x11 gdm3 working fine). Now the gdm3 starts well, but trying to log into "Ubuntu on Wayland" leads to the blank screen with the underscore. The computer remains bootable, no obvious error messages are IMHO present in /var/log/syslog, dmesg . After around a minute the PC comes back to the gdm3. The PC can boot into "Ubuntu" which means X11. There are lots od "modeset errors" related to the nvidia driver. Those were present in 22.04, and AFAIK are just a nuissance. In 22.04 Gnome desktop via Wayland worked fine, so this is a regression. I tried to log in to a new user with empty $HOME, but this changes nothing. I am happy to attach additional logs upon request. The attached syslog is for a single boot of the computer that: - was started with WaylandEnable=true - was booted into Ubuntu on Wayland (time 14:45:13 in the file), experiencing blank screen - at 14:46:50 the timout is triggered and "gnome desktop through Wayland" shuts itself down It seems the line: Oct 9 14:46:45 testosteron systemd[22999]: org.gnome.Shell@wayland.service: start operation timed out. Terminating. is very closely tied to my issue, but google does not find anything similar, so I was unable to investigate further. ----- extra info ----------- Description: Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu (development branch) Release: 22.10 mutter: Installed: 43.0-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 43.0-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 43.0-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu kinetic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ------ nvidia dirvers ----------- dpkg -l nvidia* | grep ii : ii nvidia-compute-utils-515 515.65.01-0ubuntu3 amd64 NVIDIA compute utilities ii nvidia-driver-515 515.65.01-0ubuntu3 amd64 NVIDIA driver metapackage ii nvidia-kernel-common-515 515.65.01-0ubuntu3 amd64 Shared files used with the kernel module ii nvidia-kernel-source-515 515.65.01-0ubuntu3 amd64 NVIDIA kernel source package ii nvidia-prime 0.8.17.1 all Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime ii nvidia-settings 510.47.03-0ubuntu1 amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver ii nvidia-utils-515 515.65.01-0ubuntu3 amd64 NVIDIA driver support binaries ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.10 Package: mutter 43.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.19.0-19.19-generic 5.19.7 Uname: Linux 5.19.0-19-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset zfs zunicode nvidia zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.23.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Oct 9 14:48:35 2022 EcryptfsInUse: Yes SourcePackage: mutter UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to kinetic on 2022-10-06 (2 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.apport.crashdb.conf: 2021-05-03T18:07:38.595923 ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug kinetic ** Attachment added: "syslog.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992285/+attachment/5622497/+files/syslog.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992285 Title: wayland does not start - blank screen with underscore for a minute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1992285/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
