Additional confirmation... Looks like this updated kernel fixes the issue on the affected test VM I created.
Using the detailed directions in comment #75, I was able to install the new test kernel and reboot. Verified the expected version value with uname and then installed the packages that were previously hanging from the copies I archived with the test VM and rebooted. Login showed up and functioned as normal. This appears to be the ideal 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 using bionic kernel 4.15 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
