Can anyone still affected by this please attach the output of
`journalctl`. Saying that your system boots to a blank screen is not
particularly helpful, there there could be numerous reasons causing
that, such as hardware specific driver bugs, dependency issues etc.
The recommended way to run GNOME desktop is to install:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop^
While installing the bits and pieces standalone should work, it doesnt get
anywhere near as much testing as the complete packageset above.
re Wayland comments:
The gdm wayland greeter is not available by default and gdm automatically falls
back to the X backend in this case (so no need to mess with custom.conf here).
if you want to use gdm wayland or just wayland in general you must install:
gnome-session-wayland , xwayland by itself is not enough.
ubuntu-gnome-default-settings:
I have no idea why this package being missing would affect gdm. Though if it is
indeed the schema overrides that fixes it perhaps it is caused by the ubuntu
overlay scrollbars or otherwise one of the default settings points to a missing
file/font perhaps.
This package is pulled in by default when using ubuntu-gnome-desktop
