Hi Daniel, It doesn't appear anything has actually crashed when this scenario happens. /var/crash is empty
The contents of my /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id is; d0d31e5e858096f38cba06e106ab0375a0e96fd9fda7031d320fa3966f0064bba364acdc53d42bce08a29148a49314d352455fe8b6cb716c20dbf804d8711876 There is nothing at;https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/d0d31e5e858096f38cba06e106ab0375a0e96fd9fda7031d320fa3966f0064bba364acdc53d42bce08a29148a49314d352455fe8b6cb716c20dbf804d8711876 When the system boots up, I briefly see the splash screen then the splash goes away and all I see is a completely blank purple-ish page. No login page. No indications at all that anything has gone wrong perse. And no log files.

I've been running this Ubuntu 18.04.2 VM without problem for many months without problem. Yesterday, I did 'sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade'. Upon rebooting, the system hangs immediately after displaying the splash screen. I never see a login screen. And I can't use Ctrl+Alt+F2 to navigate to a console/tty login. I can SSH into the system however. I've found that I can work around the hang/freeze if I uncomment the following line in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf; #WaylandEnable=false After uncommenting the WaylandEnable=false line and rebooting, then I see the login prompt as expected and I can then log in and use the system normally again. After the 'apt upgrade' my system is running linux kernel 4.15.0-51, as shown in this 'uname -a' output; Linux ubuntuvm1 4.15.0-51-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 15 14:27:21 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsb_release -a output; No LSB modules are available.
