Thanks Pat. That seems to confirm the 'regression-update' tag here. Although I wouldn't be able to debug and fix the mutter change because I can't reproduce the bug, using VMware. Mine just works :/
It sounds like good progress is being made in the kernel anyway. So I think a fix there would be preferable. Otherwise I would just be hunting for a way to cripple mutter to work around apparent VMware driver bugs. ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- 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 (or using WaylandEnable=false) 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
