Interesting one of the commits mentioned above: 37efe80ce85f drm/vmwgfx: use monotonic event timestamps (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.2-rc5&id=37efe80ce85f)
is related to what I changed in the latest update to mutter: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/commit/e9e4b2b72 The latest update to mutter requires monotonic event timestamps in the kernel driver in order to work properly. It should kind of work without them, but that fallback is untested... So if that is the problem then you might find reverting to the previous mutter version also works around the issue(?). You can download the debs: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.2/+build/16644915 and then try installing them together: dpkg -i *.deb ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu Eoan) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu Bionic) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832138 Title: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx but installing kernel >= v4.17-rc1 fixes it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1832138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
