Bug Description
I used following setup:
1. The login screen is handled by gdm3.
2. The wayland is disabled for gdm3 and xdmcp is enabled:
[xdmcp]
# Enable XDMCP. This is important for using VNC.
Enable=true
Port=177
[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false
3. I'm using tigernvc server, that connects via xdmcp to the xorg and exposes me login screen (I followed: https:/
That setup worked for me very well. And since some time (unfortunately I'm not able to say when), instead of GDM login screen I get black screen. I'm not able to see login screen, and nothing happens.
I tried to change gdm3 to lightdm3. This somehow improved situation. I'm able to see lightdm and login, but if I chose gnome session - screen gets all black after login. For testing, I installed openbox. Selection of openbox as session helped - I was able to use openbox normally, via tigernvc client.
I tried to check logs (using journalctl --follow) when I starting new session. I haven't found anything really weird, but this is something that I see only for "failed" remote sessions:

Please:
1. Tell us what Ubuntu version you are using.
2. Try ShowLocalGreete r=false and if that works then this would be bug 1895420
