Gnome3 login screen has checkerboard corrupted background

jetojedno · March 7, 2020, 4:52pm

Hi,

my apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this - I couldn’t see a better forum. Please advise & I’ll move it.

Occasionally, with Gnome3 I get a checkerboard corruption of the login screen. Once logged in the screen is fine (using Xorg). Where should I look / what should I change to fix this?

Thanks
David

Hi
It’s probably using wayland for gdm, edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and under the [daemon] section uncomment the line as indicated

jetojedno · March 7, 2020, 10:20pm

Thanks.

Unfortunately, in /etc/gdm/custom.conf I have:


# GDM configuration storage
#
# Note: settings from /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager have a higher priority
#


[daemon]


[security]


[xdmcp]


[greeter]


[chooser]


[debug]

… and there’s nothing mentioning wayland in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager

what line should I add in the [daemon] section?

Hi
Add under daemon section;


# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

Thanks. Unfortunately, it’s not resolved the problem. Following the change, I first restarted the graphical login (telinit 3 then telinit 5) and after that, rebooted. Problem still present, in both cases.

I’ve noticed the problem mostly on restart from hibernate, if that makes a difference.

Anything else I can change, or would a different DM (e.g. lightdm) help & be compatible with Gnome3?

Thanks

Hi
I wonder if it’s (gdm) having issues with the 2K, is your user ~/.config/monitors.xml have just the 2K monitor present? If so you could as root user set gdm to use by copying the monitors.xml to /var/lib/gdm/.config/ directory and chown to gdm:gdm and permissions 0644. and see if that helps after a reboot.

FWIW, I don’t see it here on a test machine with nvidia but resolution is on 1366x768, gpu is a GT710.

Thanks.

Unfortunately (I seem to be saying that a lot) there is no ~/.config/monitors.xml file
and /var/lib/gdm/.config/ has:

as a final comment, i noticed in the log that, following bootup, gdm fails then succeeds on restart:

I can confirm from today that the issue is to do with hibernate.

Post hibernate, I have a checkerboard gdm resume session login screen.

Hi
I would suggest a bug report is in order then (I use neither suspend nor hibernate ).

Thanks Malcolm for your help. I’ll log a bug.

A workaround would be to add a systemd unit file that unloads the nvidia driver when suspending, and one that loads it during resume.

jetojedno · March 12, 2020, 7:11pm

Thanks. I’ll give that a go this weekend.
