Upgrading my (MSI GP72) laptop running Kubuntu 18.04 -> 18.10 (via `sudo
do-release-upgrade`), the GUI doesn't show up. You hear the sound of the
greeter coming up, but the login screen is never displayed.
I can login using the terminal and use the laptop normally locally or
remotely (i.e. I can SSH into it). I've not found any (obvious) error
messages in the following log files:
* /var/log/syslog
* /var/log/boot.log
* /var/log/kern.log
* /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
Checking systemctl status lightdm.service shows it's running. Restarting
the service makes no difference. I removed/purged plasma-workspace,
plasma-desktop, and nvidia-driver-390 packages (and then autoremoved
unused packages), rebooted, and re-installed them, to no effect.
A couple of years ago, I was able to fix a similar issue for 16.04
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/838212/ubuntu-16-10-fails-to-boot-in-
msi-gp72-laptop/), but I'm stuck on this one.
How can I fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I've been using Ubuntu-based distros since 2006, and it's a shame that upgrading ALWAYS breaks something, usually on the display side. I would've hoped that this kind of recurring problem would've been addressed at some point in the last 10+ years... :/
