Bug Description
I'm trying to install from the daily Artful desktop image (20170612).
After boot, the gnome session hangs at startup, while the "zoom" animation is being shown.
I have an intel card:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 29
Memory at f7800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
I/O ports at f000 [size=64]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915
I'm not sure how to debug this further, but I had similar issues with the installer from Zesty as well (see https:/
With Artful, at least it gets past the splash screen but then it hangs.
Note that the system is currently running Yakkety with no issue.

I gave this another try with latest daily, with the same result.
I then installed ubuntu-server and manually installed ubuntu-desktop on top of it.
At boot, I get to the login screen but, as soon as I select my user from the gdm menu, everything freezes. I can't see any error in logs when the freeze happens.
