I might be hitting @beerminer 's issue as well. After the update I am also booting straight to the TTY (though in my case it is consistent, or at least I haven't been lucky on getting to GDM yet). I am using the built-in amdgpu driver however (with a FirePro W4100 card). In my case it appears that gnome-shell is failing to start on boot:
May 03 13:48:33 myhost gnome-shell[1100]: Failed to create backend: No GPUs found with udev
May 03 13:48:33 myhost gnome-session[1091]: gnome-session-binary[1091]: WARNING: App 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' exited with code 1
May 03 13:48:33 myhost gnome-session-binary[1091]: WARNING: App 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' exited with code 1
May 03 13:48:33 myhost gnome-session-binary[1091]: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop
May 03 13:48:33 myhost gdm[1004]: Child process -1087 was already dead.
I'm also not seeing any errors with dmesg or journalctl that indicate that the gpu failed to initialize. Once in the TTY I was able to get to the desktop by running sudo systemctl restart gdm.service
, perhaps the issue is that gdm
isn't waiting for the gpu drivers to be fully initialized?
