Public bug reported:
While testing 19.04 yesterday and installed nvidea gtx 390 drivers from
additional drivers, rebooted.
It didn't work and came up with a bunch of text showing what happens and stops
something about starting gdm and just stays their.
Pasting my reddit post of what I did to work around this problem. I didn't do
anything special during the install.
Ubuntu set everything up.
This leads to gdm3 refusing to start. It'll show ubuntu then a bunch of
starting stuff...then come to a screaching halt at something about gdm starting
Work around(after finding and doing a clean install: Egad I had to do a
lot of googling to find this. Bear with
Before you reboot so that the nvidia card works open a terminal and do
these
sudo apt-get install nvidea-common
then sudo -H gedit find etc gdm3 custom.conf
find the line that says
#WaylandEnable=false
change it to look like
WaylandEnable=false
