Public bug reported:
Sometimes, when booting into a Plucky VM (provisioned via virt-manager),
the login screen flickers constantly, rendering the GUI unusable.
Occasionally, the flickering pauses long enough for me to type in the
first few characters of my password, before the flickering starts again
and kicks me back to the username selection screen. Logging in via SSH,
I can see that each flicker is accompanied by dmesg logspam
(representative example below):
