This happened to me after booting up on Sep 10 2019 after Ubuntu ran software updater on Sep 9. 2019. I update whenever there is an update reported by software updater. Tried to restart several times with the same result. System went to text mode and stuck at "starting bpfilter" every time. 100%. Luckily I had a 2nd computer to search for this issue. Uncommenting the Wayland option fix it. I update daily. Why did this happen ? This seems to be a recurring issue.

There is unusual Network activity during that time. The light of the WiFi adapter is blinking a lot. I am not sure the problem is with the gdm3 package. As a matter of fact, I would remove it and let someone more experienced to set it. I'm afraid I might break something, though. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem: 1. Boot Ubuntu 18.10 with the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed. The behavior you expected: I expected Ubuntu 18.10 to boot normally. The behavior you actually encountered: The computer gets stuck in a command-like environment with the last message being "started bpfilter". You can't type any commands. I have found that uninstalling the Nvidia proprietary drivers by going into recovery mode fixes the issue. Booting with the earlier kernel doesn't fix the issue. Installing the earlier v.340 driver also doesn't fix the issue. This (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032639/ubuntu-18-04-stuck-in- boot-after-starting-gnome-display-manager-on-intel-graphic) seems relevant. This is where I found the "solution".
