Bug Description
This was the last OK then my 18.04 hangs after an update this morning. 07:00 AM CEST
Last Ok in boot was Started gnome display manager. dispatcher service ...... tem changes.pp link was shut down
Tried install lightdm from command line and the response was lastest already installed.
Probably it is what is coming after the lastest OK which is to be the error. And here I have lots of guesses......
Any Ideas ? I need to do some work and I may not be waiting long.
Search and browsed and now close to give up. Yeah it is a Lenovo.
Guys: turn of auto update it is a machine killer.

I faced this issue after performing an upgrade on my system at around 5 PM (IST). The symptoms were all the same as stated in the comments above.
I don't know if this is a good workaround. But, what I did is
sudo apt remove linux-image-
And, this helped me get the system back.
Frank (frank-jonsson) wrote : | #9 |
When I reinstall all these again they are all in and I get the notice "set to manually installed." for every single on of them.
To me this means that the main package that is dependent on all these "set to manually installed." is not installed.
If I uninstall VLC I get vlc-noc automatically. If I uninstall VLC the vlc-noc will uninstall, too.
If I then install vlc-noc it will notify me with "set to manually installed."
I am probably barking up the wrong tree, but it is just the way it comes to me right now.

@ #12
No booting to previous kernels (4.15.0-23 or -20) doesn't solve the problem, also removing 4.15.0-24 doesn't help here.
I'm in doubt it's a kernel problem.
If you do a little research you'll find that this issue (Started gnome display manager. dispatcher service ...... tem changes.pp link was shut down) also happened with previous Ubuntu versions. It seems related to GDM3.
I tried to disable wayland in GDM3 (by setting WaylandEnable=false in custom.conf) also of no help.
Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) wrote : | #17 |
I started a kernel bisect between 4.15.0-23 and 4.15.0-24. The kernel bisect will require testing of about 7-10 test kernels.
I built the first test kernel, up to the following commit:
5a955cd22fdb93a
The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://
Can you test that kernel and report back if it has the bug or not? I will build the next test kernel based on your test results.
Thanks in advance

Tried turning off power and then booting 0-23, still hangs, got "Started GNOME display manager. Dispatcher service......before the ppp link was shut down....
Initially when I had the issue this morning I just turned the power off and let the laptop sit for about three hours before trying to boot (successfully) the 0-23 kernel.

Updated all third party apps to newest versions.
Took a look at the boot.log
Made me run these:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall apparmor
systemctl start nmbd.service
It boots on 24 kernel.
Very fast suspiciously fast. Boot.log looks good.
Until now it works.

The same issue on Lenovo M30-70.
I run Linux Mint 19 (cinnamon) parallelly on the same notebook. After upgrade to kernel 4.15.0-24 it hangs too. But here it boots with a prior kernel without problems and I turned off the upgrade to 4.15.0-24.

Same problem here with T440s. I found a quick workaround. I put the computer in standby when the 5 dots of ubuntu logo are stuck. Then resume and the login screen appears.
staedtler-przyborski (staedtler-przyborski-deactivatedaccount) wrote : | #27 |
As no trick mentioned here worked ...
I made a fresh install and updated everything except the kernel (which remains at 4.15.0-20). And my Lenovo T 520 works again.
So indeed kernel 4.15.0-24 seems the culprit. No glue why booting to previous installed kernels doesn't work either as soon 4.15.0-24 is installed.

Hi,
on my X230 I have run a fresh installation from USB and then update to the 4.10.0-24. Now the computer boots but it takes much more time. It hangs for cca 2 minutes on the Ubuntu dots screen with all 5 dots white and does not react at all.
Frank (frank-jonsson) wrote : | #30 |
CTRL-ALT-F1 and check the boot sequence for what it using 2 minutes for.
Might be what I experienced:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall apparmor

There might be several more services like that.

With Ubuntu you should get used to always have the drive with recent version near you in case of something go wrong. Because from my experience it is faster to reinstall than fix such issues.

I'm not sure if my issue is related:
I upgraded to 4.15.0-24 yesterday (no other updates) and this morning I get a blank screen on boot that sits there indefinitely (i.e. minutes).
To fix this, I CTRL-ALT-F6 to get another tty, which immediately show up. This however seems to trigger some event, as the graphical login appears (displaces) my tty6 terminal without my intervention. So I can reliably get the graphical login back by "playing" with tty6.
One thing I noticed during boot was the `nvidia-
`snapd.service` and `unbound.service` appear as the main offenders, but I'm not sure what's cause and effect here.
Booting with the prior 4.15.0-23 kernel works fine, as before.

The install of package haveged workaround also did not work for me - I was getting boot hangs in my KVM guest installation, waiting for 3 services to start.
After installing haveged, I only hang on something called "hold until start processes finish up" for about 15 seconds, then a permanent hang on "Stopping User Manager for UID 119".

Reverting the fix for CVE-2018-1108 to get this to work is not necessary and not a good idea. The root cause has been identified upstream in https:/
Turns out it was fontconfig generating a uuid that tripped over the CVE fix. One commited fix is to copy the necessary fonts to initramfs so genuuid is not needed. Another is a fix to randutils. Those are the changes that need to be pushed to Ubuntu users.
How did this regression ever get into an Ubuntu software update for the masses?

You don't need to install all of the updates from the -proposed repository, only the kernel. When you check the proposed box in the software updater, you are effectively adding the following line to /etc/apt/
deb http://
You can then either use the software updater or apt to install the kernel. I used the following apt command on the command line:
apt-get install linux-generic
This command automatically pulled in the other dependencies such as the kernel headers and modules from the -proposed repository.

Booting into the *-26 kernel gave a very quick handover to Gnome, but with some kind of
badly painted cursor and progress images apparently bleeding through from the plymouth screens.
However the deal breaker is that networking isn't enabled at all.
Report then is that *-26 kernel is not a workaround or a fix for this machine: Clevo bareboook W540 onboard graphics.
haveged is a workaround for getting into Gnome with *-24 kernel but networking is fairly retarded in its delivery to the desktop after Gnome starts - averaging 30s.
Booting into *-23 is the optimum boot speed and delivers networking in good time.

Installing *-26-th kernel from a proposed fixes the issue with very slow booting on my system.
Wes Newell (wesnewell) wrote : | #65 |
I only had the slow boot problem on 2 out of 3 systems with the .24 kernel. Both systems that had problems had single ssd drives in them. One was an ECS GF8200A mb and the other was a jetway GF8200 based mb. The system that didn't have a problem was also an ECS GF8200A mb, but does not have a ssd drive in it. All work fine so far with the .26 kernel.

Sorry, but the bug also happens with 4.15.0-23
I upgraded a PC with a SSD replacing a HDD. So this laptop now only has a SSD which obviously has no spinning part to produce entropy to seed the random generator.
Here is what happens:
-1) not touching anything, there is a "30 seconds gap" (visible in dmesg) where nothing at all happens, then the boot sequence continues
-2) touching the trackpad randomly during the boot sequence makes the random generator initialize quicker (message in dmesg) but there is still the 30 sec gap in spite of the message in the log
-3) plugging an external spinning rust to USB fixes the issue! Now the system does not hang for 30 sec waiting anymore...

Mine is a Toshiba Satellite Z30-A-1E9 laptop with a single SSD. I tried booting with the 4.15.0-26-generic kernel now with an external HDD attached, and still couldn't boot - I waited for more than 3.5min and it was still stuck on the "before the ppp link was shut down" message, so I switched to lightdm then it booted within ~15s without the external drive.

Participating in bug https:/
couple of days.
Clevo barebook W540 pentium 3805U 1.90G onboard graphics BroadwellGT1 single ssd, intel Wless 3160, only hardware hanging off it is a usb wireless mouse.
Had indefinite hang begin with update to Ubuntu-offered *-24 kernel.
A fair amount of keyboarding and mouse wiggling (average 90s) is needed to wake the process up again.
Holding the SHIFT key speeds up the boot to an acceptable delay.
Once into Gnome, networking is also fairly retarded (average 45s) and sometimes needs UI operation for the Net Manager to do its usual auto connect to its secure network.
Installing haveged stopped the hang. Network also appears to be more responsive, but this can
be masked by the flaky operation of our el-cheapo wireless router. Using a usb dongle which emulates etho appears to deliver much more reliable network start.
Booting into *-23 stopped all symptoms - haveged not needed.
Booting into the dev channel *-26 returned the hang and added a few display artefacts to the plymouth/Gnome handover process. Zero networking delivered in Gnome, not even a UI for Net Manager.
Hanging a portable WD 1TB spinner off the laptop USB3 port returned a good boot time into Gnome with the *-24 kernel without haveged installed. Networking was however delayed variously between 60s and at one boot appeared to need UI input to wake the hardware up to the secure connection already in the Net Manager's list, even though Net Manager could immediately see other networks around the place.
Reverting now to *-23 kernel for the week's work.
Hope these naive reports were in any way useful.
Kurt Smolderen (kurt.smolderen) wrote : | #72 |
The kernel provided in the proposed channel does not solve the issue for me. I also encounter the described boot issue in -23, -24 and -26 kernels. A workaround for me is using lightdm as display manager instead of gmd3.
What was proposed in this thread and didn't work for me:
* Installing havegd (verified for -23 and -24 kernels)
* Installing -26 form bionic-proposed
* Booting directly to -23 (without havegd)
* Adding a spinning disk during boot in -24, or -26 (not sure whether I also tested this one in -23)
I'm testing this on an HP ProBook 5320m (CPU: Intel Core i3 M350). This system does not have a dedicated GPU so I doubt it is caused by Nvidia cards directly as suggested before.

#50 : Another workaround besides the 'haveged' is 'rng-tools5'. I've booted through kernel version(4.15.0-23), installed the package 'rng-tools5' (because my processor supports it - intel 3rd generation or newest) and now i'm able to boot kernel 4.15.0-24 again.

This still looks like the getrandom() hang described in https:/
There's a link to the updated plymouth package which I tried:
https:/
Unfortunately all I got was a black screen, with or without haveged installed. This is not the getrandom hang. The screen remains black and no log is displayed. I suspect this is because some modification to the package or config files is needed for Ubuntu. Or maybe some other package needed reconfiguring due to the change plymouth. I'm no Ubuntu expert.
As I stated in comment #48, if these fixes indeed work, when properly incorporated into Ubuntu, they are preferable to backing out the CVE fix.

My bionic system has been fine until today, when I thought it wouldn't complete the boot at all. It did in fact start after about 10 minutes. I tried again with the same result. I am on the *24 kernel. I tried *23 (from the boot list) but it made no difference. Moving the mouse seemed to help.
Installing haveged fixed it - so thanks for the information.
On the log I was getting various service problems, snapd timeouts, very long 'resolve transaction' and 'search-file' delays.
But why the change all of a sudden? Since Monday 9th July am I have installed the following. I hope this may help someone pin it down further.

Sorry... my "bug" was PEBCAK!
It has nothing to do with entropy. I copied the system from an old HDD to a SDD, and in the process didn't change the resume UID that sits in: /etc/initramfs-
It was still pointing to a partition UID on the old disk. Hence when the old disk was attached via USB all was normal, but when the disk was not there, the system waited for 30 seconds to see that UID and try to resume.
I then replace the old UID with "none" (since I won't be hibernating that machine) did the initram command, and now all is fine.
So please, disregard posts #66 to #69, they are unrelated to the topic!
My apologies again.

I'm happy to report that I was able to boot normally with gdm now, and it didn't get stuck. Yesterday I removed and reinstalled gdm3 and ubuntu-desktop, as suggested here, rebooted, but it was still the same (i.e. stuck in reboot), so I switched back to lightdm. Today when I turned it on it started normally using gdm (although I don't remember switching it to gdm again!).

I have come to the conclusion that the problem with the #24 Linux Kernel is related
to the use of SSD hard drives.
I just took my SSD out of my computer and replaced it with an old manual / mechanical
hard drive and installed Linux Mint 19 on it including the #24 Kernel and it worked/booted
perfectly after the installation of #24, whereas previously when I was using my SSD in
the computer the #24 kernel broke the system and would not boot.
Hope someone addresses this issue fairly quickly because me thinks there are a lot
of people like me who have switched to SSD.
Thanks.

Did you install haveged "BEFORE" you attempted update to kernel #24 ?
Is you SSD a Western Digital, may I ask ?
Perhaps haveged is a solution but does not sound like a particularly
good one. How is one supposed to know that they have to do this ?
Sounds like to me that there is something in kernel #24 that needs to
be fixed so that will will work properly with SSD without having to
add this that and the other to get it to work.

Sounds like adding haveged is a patchwork fix at best and that some
change to the kernel itself needs to be made - what that might
be, I have no idea because me certainly have EXTREMELY little
programming experience. Sort of thinking about going back to
Mint 18.3 for now.
Thanks.
Mark (1aunchpad-nct) wrote : | #91 |
@joverstreet1, kernel 24 was installed first, by Ubuntu Software Updater. I then installed haveged to work around a kernel change to getrandom(). My SSD is not Western Digital but the SSD has nothing to do with the problem, at least not the one that is the focus of this bug report.
The kernel change was done to fix CVE-2018-1108 as explained earlier in this bug. Some packages used during boot tripped over this change. According to https:/
The problem packages are plymouth & randutils (in utils_linux). The kernel change causes them to hang waiting for entropy. plymouth is involved in boot. It manages the handover from boot to the graphical login screen.
So yes the kernel, and other, developers are aware. I think Ubuntu release a new kernel with the CVE fix removed but I haven't used my Linux box for the last couple of days so don't know for sure.

Easiest thing to do is just delete the .24 kernel. During boot, start tapping the esc key repeatedly. You should get the grub menu. Select the advanced option, and then load the last good kernel, which should be the .23 one if you've kept the system up to date. Once it boots and everything is working right, you can use your package manager to remove the offending .24 kernel or do it manually with sudo apt remove <kernel name>. Once you've removed it, grub will automatically be updated so it will boot to the .23 kernel. FWIW, the .24 kernel was removed from the repo as to not to infect people that do updates now.

Thank you Wes Newell for your reply.
I only installed ubuntu on this computer (big big big mistake) I do not have the grub menu at start.
After typing many commands which I did not understand ubuntu started. I have lost the sound however and now I am afraid to turn it off. If I run:

And currently:
uname -r:

Which commands should I run to purge that kernel and run the previous one? Should I do it from tty? or from the current session? Should I wait for an update or will that make it worse...

@Joseph Salisbury: I am confused. Looking at USN-3718-1 (https:/
However the table at https:/
So my question is: is CVE-2018-1108 fixed in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS? And if so since which kernel version? Did the new kernel that led to this bugreport fix the vulnerability. Did the fix you developed reintroduce the vulnerability?
Regards and thank you for your efforts!

I noticed similar effect with very recent (4.17) kernels. In 4.16.8 there were changes in random.c due to a security flaw. The function that detects "having enough entropy" is now strictly blocking. In the early boot phase this is bad on any machine without enough entropy sources. The kernel has 3 such sources: character devices, block devices and interrupts. On newer machines you can also have hardware random engines like in intel cores gen3+ (ivy bridge). This effect does not appear on computers with such a hw-rng. If you have one without hw-rng, and with a SSD only (they are not used for entropy gathering) and you don't mode your mouse, you are likely seeing this. The bad thing is, this kernel patch is actually necessary to prevent the system starting with insufficient safe random numbers. I applied a patch that reverts commit 43838a23a05fbd1

The updated kernel doesn't fix the issue for me. I still need to have 3 or 4 usb sticks connected to the computer so it can boot correctly and not get stuck on a blank screen. Probably still an entropy issue.

Hello.
With kernel -29 my VM boots fast as usual. But another strange thing I'm discovering is that plymouth image still blinking over desktop. It happens from time to time. Not always, but regularly.

I have this exact issue with ANY kernel above 4.15.0-20. I tried over a dozen different versions higher and ONLY 4.15.0-20 works straight away. So I seriously doubt its an issue with just 4.15.0-24, at least on my machine.

Also, cannot install 18.04 from ISO in new VM, probably also because of that.
Good thing I did not upgrade my physical machines to 18.04, like some poor souls in here did!

Hi I am on Carbon X1 2015 and I was using ubuntu mate 16.04. The system suggested that I update to 18.04. I did that and went for run. I came back my screen was still there but the menu was gone. I forced a restart. I now get a screen for bios load then sda3_crypt. I put in my password and I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor that I cannot move and nothing else. I cannot recall what my kernel was. I just wanted tot ask if there has been any resolution on this issue...today is 2018-10-28.
I just read Stefan's comment and my heart sank...Any suggestions.

Adding my $0.02, whatever it is worth. I ran into this on a RamNode VPS. downgrading to 4.15.0-20-generic made it boot again. Attaching dmesg from that machine.

Is there even anyone out there with disco dingo AND a functioning kernel with an nvidia driver? But of course if someone did, they wouldn't be here.
