I don't think this bug should only occur on VirtualBox. One reason we've focussed on VirtualBox might just be that ubuntu-restricted-* fails to install on other systems, which is a different bug.
Evidence suggesting non-virtual systems also have the bug: * Bug 1992285 * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5710 * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5956 ** Summary changed: - Screen freeze before the login screen on VirtualBox (if the third party software option was selected) + Screen freeze before the login screen (if the third party software option was selected) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988488 Title: Screen freeze before the login screen (if the third party software option was selected) Status in GNOME Shell: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: [ Workaround ] 1. Install *without* the third-party option. 2. sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras 3. sudo apt remove gstreamer1.0-vaapi [ Original Description ] The problem started to appear 2 weeks ago after one of my daily updates. It also happens after I re-install the system from a freshly downloaded ISO file. The system freezes at the moment, it starts the gnome display manager. I file the bug-report after a partial upgrade just before I will reboot the system. If needed I can reboot in recovery mode, since the gnome display manager is not started in that case. I tried the continue button without effect and also "apt upgrade" and "apt dist-upgrade" do have the same effect I run the VM from the Host-OpenZFS file system, so I can restore to before the update. Recently I use a Virtualbox snapshot to restore the system to before the update/upgrade. If you need log files, let me know.
