I've uploaded a pkg to cosmic unapproved which contains https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/commit/85d843af843589ce8538a59e5cb665b8253e380d amongst a few other cherry picks that are worthwhile to have in cosmic.
--- details unrelated to this bug (boot race with plymouth & DRM) --- I know this isn't the end of the story with regard to boot races (there's a "Could not find primary drm kms device" thing that Trevinho is looking into), but it gets us closer. Possibly we should use a new bug for that other problem so this one doesn't get confusing with multiple fixes for a broad symptom. (If so, please file it, rls nominate it, attach the journal logs that show the bug happening so it's clear it's about that problem and no other and assign to Trevinho) ** Summary changed: - No login screen when booting Cosmic + No login screen when booting Cosmic due to plymouth racing with the rest of the boot process and not releasing DRM devices in time ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu Cosmic) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795637 Title: No login screen when booting Cosmic due to plymouth racing with the rest of the boot process and not releasing DRM devices in time Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gdm3 source package in Cosmic: Invalid Status in plymouth source package in Cosmic: Triaged Bug description: Booting a fresh install of Cosmic from the ISO generated 1 Oct 2018 doesnt present a log in screen.
