Description: When starting the system the cursor just blinks
and gdm doesn't start.
Switching to other tty session and coming back starts gdm. This was described here (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=256522), and here it is similar, with similar logs, but a bit different (https://www.linux.org.ru/forum/desktop/15747717), and I had the same problem. It was fixed by booting 'linux-lts' instead of 'linux'. Please write what information I shall also provide if you plan to investigate. I have more or less same logs as on the links. I use gdm with Gnome. Before switching the kernel, I commented out WaylandEnable=false in '/etc/gdm/custom.conf', but that didn't help. Additional info: * package version(s) linux 5.9.8.arch1-1 fails. linux-lts 5.4.77-1 works. * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any I'm using an Acer Swift 5 laptop with Intel processor with integrated graphics. The drivers version is mesa-20.2.2-2. Steps to reproduce: Turn on laptop, boot your system. |

Maybe this patch from Ubuntu might help with the TTY issue ...
I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm using the nvidia proprietary
driver and there seems to be a race condition with gdm trying to
start X before /dev/dri/card0 becomes ready. I solved it by
adapting this solution for gdm:

I cannot reproduce the issue. Is it still valid for you?
