OS hangs on boot while starting gdm.service #734

Open crackwilding opened 4 years ago

crackwilding commented 4 years ago

When restarting after a crash, my system hangs right after I enter my cryptsetup password. I hit esc and watched the startup routine -- it's hanging while trying to launch gdm.service. Workaround consists of booting into the recovery partition and doing:

sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 cryptdata
sudo lvscan
sudo vgchange -ay
sudo mount /dev/mapper/data-root /mnt

If I reboot after this, it works fine, but it's getting rather tiring having to do this every time. I've got an Oryx Pro with 16GB RAM running 19.10. The problem started in 19.04.

I've since switched to Cinnamon, which seems somewhat more stable than Gnome. But when it does crash I still have to launch recovery mode and decrypt the hard drive. Does anyone even read these issues?
