Bug Description
Hello,
After upgrading to Cosmic Cuttlefish yesterday when I came to reboot gdm seemingly was unable to start. There was not much in the logs, and after much tinkering I discovered that after the Ubuntu splash screen if I pressed Alt + F{N>1} then pressed Alt+F1 gdm would immediatly start up.
But if I left it to load as normal, it would fall into a stalled state where I am forced to reboot.
If you need any diagnostics please don't hisitate to ask.
Prior to discovering this work around I checked the logs using `journalctl -xb` but was unable to see anything related to GDM, so it may not be that but this is the configuration I have:
- Nvidia RTX 2080Ti
- Nvidia 430 drivers from nvidia ppa
- Wayland enabled
- Cosmic Cuttlefish 18.10
This bug is not present when I disable wayland.
