No login screen after Ubuntu 18.04 update












1















After the upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.04.1, when booting instead of going from grub menu to the purple login page, it goes directly to tty1.



The current kernel is 4.15.0-33 and I've already tried to boot with every kernel version from 33 to 29.



Also the systemctl status gdm3 command gives the active status.



Output of dmesg --level=err,warn:



dmesg --level=err,warn



Output of lspci -knn | feel -i VGA -A3:

First, eliminate a possible disk file system problem...




  • boot to the GRUB menu

  • choose Advanced Options

  • choose Recovery mode

  • choose Root access

  • at the # prompt, type sudo fsck -f /

  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors

  • type reboot


If for some reason you can't do the above...




  • boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB

  • start gparted and determine which /dev/sdaX is your Ubuntu EXT4 partition

  • quit gparted

  • open a terminal window

  • type sudo fsck -f /dev/sdaX # replacing X with the number you found earlier

  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors

  • type reboot


Next, eliminate a possible video subsystem problem...



At the GRUB menu, hit the e key, and edit the line that contains "splash quiet" to "splash quiet nomodeset", hit ctrl-x to continue booting. See if it will fully boot, even if the video display isn't at the correct resolution. If it boots, do one of the following...



1. Eliminate a possible wayland problem...



Boot to recovery mode, and choose root access. Then type:



sudo mount -o rw,remount /


In terminal...





  • cd /etc/gdm3 # change directory


  • sudo pico custom.conf # edit this file


Find and change:



#WaylandEnable=false



To this:



WaylandEnable=false



Save the file.





  • sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 # select gdm3 DM


Select gdm3 and OK.





  • reboot # reboot the computer


2. Update/reinstall the current nouveau/Nvidia video drivers.



Update #1:



While trying the wayland fix, errors indicated a gdm3 problem. Reinstalling gdm3 resolved the problem.

  • While doing the Wayland part, doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3" gives: "gdm3 is ruined or not completely installed". Edit: That message made me think and so doing this steps I've solved the problem! 1- reedit custom.conf leaving #WaylandEnable=false 2- rebooted in normal mode 3- from tty1: sudo apt install gdm3 That's it, maybe the update broke gdm3
