Bug Description
after reboot during upgrade 18.04 to 18.10, screen doesn't show login, see pic.
However, if I mouseover the line, colors/lines change, and if I click middle of screen I see the cursor changing from 'arrow' to 'vertical line where you can type'. I then type the login password and voilà! I get the cosmic cuttlefish desktop and everything works fine :-D
I have 2 more pics for the blind/hidden login sequence
