Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) reached end-of-standard-support on May 31, 2023.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it anymore. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in. ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- 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/1782347 Title: [radeon] GDM3 fails to load without nomodeset Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Both with the livecd (usb drive) and the installed version, I must boot with the 'nomodeset' kernel parameter at GRUB; otherwise GDM3 will not boot (the screen will keep on flashing in semi-textual mode, with a white mouse arrow stuck). This, however, prevents me from using the 'radeon' video driver, dropping me to a very basic 1024x768 vesa mode. The bug did NOT occur on Ubuntu 12.04, so it is a regression. Also, the bug does NOT occur on XUbuntu/XFCE 18.04, so it is a GDM3-Gnome related thing.
