Reverting the fix for CVE-2018-1108 to get this to work is not necessary and not a good idea. The root cause has been identified upstream in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897572 and fixes committed.
Turns out it was fontconfig generating a uuid that tripped over the CVE fix. One commited fix is to copy the necessary fonts to initramfs so genuuid is not needed. Another is a fix to randutils. Those are the changes that need to be pushed to Ubuntu users. How did this regression ever get into an Ubuntu software update for the masses? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #897572 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897572 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779827 Title: failure to boot with linux-image-4.15.0-24-generic Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in The Bionic Beaver: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: This was the last OK then my 18.04 hangs after an update this morning. 07:00 AM CEST Last Ok in boot was Started gnome display manager. dispatcher service ...... tem changes.pp link was shut down Tried install lightdm from command line and the response was lastest already installed.
