Public bug reported: apt install ubuntu-desktop on Servers with embedded Matrox G200 Graphics Controller issue
After install/reboot there is no gdm login displayed Editing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf to force gdm to use Xorg instead of Wayland fixed the issue Ubuntu 19.10 has the same problem Same issue found installing the Desktop Version Had to force the /etc/dgm3/custom.conf to use xorg from Grub recovery mode Conclusion being - should we try to fix this? There may already be a fix in process https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/364 Here are three proposals if the above does not pan out, one of these should work, Number 3 is preferred 1. Fix Wayland’s support for G200 2. Rip out the broken support for Matrox G200 in Wayland 3. Convince Canonical to blacklist the G200 from Wayland during install and force Xorg automatically ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870208 Title: adding GUI to Ubuntu Server 20.04 results in no log in screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1870208/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
