After a recent software update my computer stopped booting into the normal login screen. Instead I see several terminal logs that ends with

Started User Manager for UID 120

Or something like this

Ubuntu 18.04 gdm3 login

I read in a few places that I needed to uncomment #WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf. This did not work for me.

I then installed and configured lightdm based on this answer and now my computer boots into a black screen, but after I move my mouse a bit or hold the shift key during boot the login screen appears and I’m successfully able to login.

I’m hoping a future software update will bring things back to ‘normal’. Ideally I’d like to revert back to gdm3 and have the default 18.04 login experience.

Right now I’ve subscribed to updates to what might be the bugs in launchpad. I also try and boot using gdm3 with sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 after software updates now and then. Is there a better way to check if this issue is resolved?

My computer's hardware information is here if that's useful to know.
