Dieter Meyer, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 1) Is this something that started to happen after an update? If so, which and when precisely?
2) Regarding the kernel you are using (4.13.0-37.42-generic 4.13.13) it appears you are manually booting this or have it pinned. Could you please update to a supported kernel (4.15.x) and advise to the results? 3) If you disable the nvidia card in your BIOS, does this provide a WORKAROUND? ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770374 Title: My login screen stays black Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I can't login to my desktop cause my login screen is black.
