Ubuntu – Stuck at “Started GNOME Display Manager” on 18.10

bootgdmsystem-installation

I just recently installed Ubuntu 18.10. After successful installation, I rebooted my system but Ubuntu didn't boot, it gets stuck at showing started GNOME display manager.

My keyboard is also not working. What is the problem? How can I get a complete Ubuntu desktop ready without any errors?

You may have a problem with an older computer, with an older GPU. Try this...

  • boot to recovery mode
  • choose root access

type:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /      # to remount the disk r/w

sudo pico /etc/gdm3/custom.conf # edit this file

change:

#WaylandEnable=false

to:

WaylandEnable=false

Then reboot.
