Stuck at Ubuntu logo while booting in 18.04
My system stuck at ubuntu logo while booting. To resolve it, I've set nomodeset
.
But now it occurs a resolution issue to 1024x768.
Here are the necessary information:

Sometimes it helps with#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

To resolve the issue, I have disabled Wayland in GDM3.
sudo vi /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
Change
#WaylandEnable=false
toWaylandEnable=false
and reboot the
system.
This can be done in two ways,
Set nomodeset to login,and follow the above steps. (In my case, I've already setnomodeset
which was an easy way)- With live dvd or bootable media: make sure the path of your installed drive
/media/ubuntu/XXX/etc/gdm3/custom.conf
which can be found withdf -h
UPDATE:
It seems like this bug has been fixed with upgrading mutter
package, so if the above solution did not work out, try to upgrade mutter
package.
If you need to boot with Live-CD/USB to edit that file, remember to edit the file installed on the hard drive, something like: Files - Other Locations - NN GB file system - Ctrl+Alt+T -sudo gedit /media/ubuntu/blah/etc/gdm3/custom.conf

I had the same problem. I tried a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell Latitude D620, it booted fine from USB drive but after restart it just showed the ubuntu logo and the mouse cursor, but the system was not responding to CTRL+F2/F3 or mouse movements.
My hardware:
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Dell Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [1028:01c2]
Kernel driver in use: i915
So adding nomodeset
to /etc/default/grub the system was able to boot I was stuck with the wrong resolution of 1024x768 instead of the 1280x800. So it is not a solution I wanted to live with.
Finally I found a good work around:
sudo apt-get install lightdm
Installing lightdm
as Display Manager instead of the default gdm3
solved the problem with the Intel 945GM (i915
) and the frozen ubuntu logo.
P.S.: WLAN was also not working with the integrated Broadcom BCM4311.
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1600] (rev 02)
0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01)
Solution was installing the firmware-b43-installer (https://askubuntu.com/a/609420/127023).
What solution of WLAN has to do with this login issue?

Update: I switched to Unity after lightdm+Gnome was crashing (*)
I had the same problem with i915 module. The screen was freezing when booting after the cursor was appearing on the screen. It was solved by replacing gdm by lightdm as described above. Summarizing the recipe:
Boot by adding the
nomodeset
option:
a. Hold SHIFT to see GRUB menu before booting
b. Presse
and addnomodeset
at the linelinux /boot,vmlinuz-.... root=UUID=... ro quiet splash nomodeset
and then press F10 to reboot.
- Start with low resolution screen with the above mentioned results.
- Install lightdm+unity desktop and choose it as default.
sudo apt-get install lightdm;
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-unity-desktop - Reboot.
(*) i915 module error messages from dmesg, the session was forcingly logging out
Installinglightdm
is workaround, not a solution. What if one wants to usegdm3
which is already default in 18.04?

Installing lightdm
as Display Manager instead of the default gdm3
solved the problem with the Intel 945GM (i915
) and the frozen ubuntu logo.
P.S.: WLAN was also not working with the integrated Broadcom BCM4311.
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1600] (rev 02)
0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01)
Solution was installing the firmware-b43-installer (https://askubuntu.com/a/609420/127023).
What solution of WLAN has to do with this login issue?

I had the same problem. I tried a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell Latitude D620, it booted fine from USB drive but after restart it just showed the ubuntu logo and the mouse cursor, but the system was not responding to CTRL+F2/F3 or mouse movements.
My hardware:
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Dell Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [1028:01c2]
Kernel driver in use: i915
So adding nomodeset
to /etc/default/grub the system was able to boot I was stuck with the wrong resolution of 1024x768 instead of the 1280x800. So it is not a solution I wanted to live with.
Finally I found a good work around:
sudo apt-get install lightdm

Update: I switched to Unity after lightdm+Gnome was crashing (*)
I had the same problem with i915 module. The screen was freezing when booting after the cursor was appearing on the screen. It was solved by replacing gdm by lightdm as described above. Summarizing the recipe:
Boot by adding the
nomodeset
option:
a. Hold SHIFT to see GRUB menu before booting
b. Presse
and addnomodeset
at the linelinux /boot,vmlinuz-.... root=UUID=... ro quiet splash nomodeset
and then press F10 to reboot.
- Start with low resolution screen with the above mentioned results.
- Install lightdm+unity desktop and choose it as default.
sudo apt-get install lightdm;
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-unity-desktop - Reboot.
(*) i915 module error messages from dmesg, the session was forcingly logging out
Installinglightdm
is workaround, not a solution. What if one wants to usegdm3
which is already default in 18.04?

I guess it is necessary to use
nomodeset
. What graphics chip/card is it? I can see that it is Intel graphics, but which model? For some chips, it helps to install the packagexserver-xorg-video-intel

Sometimes it helps with
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
; Uncomment to disable graphical terminal. This may provide help if the GRUB 2 menu is too large or unreadable. It also may help when using the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT feature. See this link– sudodus

@sudodus
xserver-xorg-video-intel
command not found and grub2 is not too large, it is readable but let me try once.– d a i s y

Install with
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel
