You missed that I did include the output of 'systemctl list-jobs' during the crucial interval of delay.
I will follow your instructions regarding boot parameters etc. and post results asap. I expect there is an enormous difference between accessing the VM via RPD (XRDP) protocol and accessing the VM via the more native interface (purple screen) which is eventually available on 19.10, even though both are accessed through the Hyper-V "Connection" interface. XRDP seems like the preferred way, it's the only way I get to 18.04, and forcing it on 19.10 is the only way I get screen size control and cut-and-paste from guest to host. Am seeking confirmation of what is the correct/preferred behavior is with 19.10. Should I be getting the "native" purple login screen quickly and then have cut-paste and screen control, or should be getting the XRDP interface quickly, just like I do with 18.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848534 Title: [Microsoft Hyper-V guest] System shows graphic artifacts for a moment, then text cursor for about minute and then starts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1848534/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
