on Ubuntu 20.04 Servers with Aspeed AST2500 Graphics Controller, install with console, it can login.
When using apt install ubuntu-desktop to install ubuntu desktop,
After install/reboot there is no gdm3 login displayed, it will hung on purple login GUI.

Edit gdm configuration file /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment
#WaylandEnable=false
to force gdm to use Xorg instead of Wayland fixed the issue

Ubuntu 19.10 has the same problem

Same issue found installing the Desktop Version

Had to force the /etc/dgm3/custom.conf to use xorg from Grub recovery mode
Conclusion being - should we try to fix this?

There may already be a fix in process
