I was using gdm3 in Ubuntu 18.04, after upgrading it stopped working (Similar screenshot in gdm3 does not start in ubuntu 18.04) I had no login screen.

Using tty I tried (from: Can't start ubuntu-desktop after upgrade to 18.04):

sudo systemctl start graphical.target

This worked for a while, the graphical interface was started, so for testing purpose, I closed my session and I was able to enter again, but after a reboot the problem was back again, so from tty I had to change gdm to lightdm. Is it worth trying to get gdm working again?

You may have a problem with an older computer, with an older GPU. Try this...

  • boot to recovery mode
  • choose root access

type:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /      # to remount the disk r/w

sudo pico /etc/gdm3/custom.conf # edit this file

change:

#WaylandEnable=false

to:

WaylandEnable=false

Then reboot.
