Public bug reported: Upgrading my (MSI GP72) laptop running Kubuntu 18.04 -> 18.10 (via `sudo do-release-upgrade`), the GUI doesn't show up. You hear the sound of the greeter coming up, but the login screen is never displayed.
I can login using the terminal and use the laptop normally locally or remotely (i.e. I can SSH into it). I've not found any (obvious) error messages in the following log files: * /var/log/syslog * /var/log/boot.log * /var/log/kern.log * /var/log/nvidia-installer.log Checking systemctl status lightdm.service shows it's running. Restarting the service makes no difference. I removed/purged plasma-workspace, plasma-desktop, and nvidia-driver-390 packages (and then autoremoved unused packages), rebooted, and re-installed them, to no effect. A couple of years ago, I was able to fix a similar issue for 16.04 (https://askubuntu.com/questions/838212/ubuntu-16-10-fails-to-boot-in- msi-gp72-laptop/), but I'm stuck on this one. How can I fix this issue? Thanks in advance. PS: I've been using Ubuntu-based distros since 2006, and it's a shame that upgrading ALWAYS breaks something, usually on the display side. I would've hoped that this kind of recurring problem would've been addressed at some point in the last 10+ years... :/ ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1801576 Title: No GUI after Kubuntu 18.04 -> 18.10 Upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1801576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
