Title:
Black screen when entering GDM login page
Status in gdm package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu version: Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 stable amd64
GDM version: 3.10.0.1-0ubuntu7
CPU Vendor: AMD
GPU vendor: AMD
Computer type: Laptop
After fresh installing Ubuntu GNOME 14.10, everything was fine and I
installed fglrx. However after I reboot my machine it just stuck
between the start screen (with GNOME's footprint in the center) and
the login page. It was a black screen but the screen is on because I
could see the backlight. However I was able to change to a tty by
pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and after I installed LightDM and made it as
default my machine successfully booted into the login page and
everything was fine.
I think this is a bug related to GDM, fglrx, systemd and upstart.
