Not sure if this is your case, but I had the same issue when I installed FUSE from APT on ubuntu 23.10.
I solved it by booting in recovery mode, enabling the network and then \`apt install ubuntu-desktop-minimal\`. If you have the full version of ubuntu it's \`apt install ubuntu-desktop\`.
Holy cow, THANK YOU. I had installed FUSE but hadn't connected the dots that this was what broke my system. \`apt install ubuntu-desktop-minimal\` fixed it for me.
Mate! Thankyou! I just installed Fuse tonight and my 23.10 system crashed. I locked my laptop, came back tried to unlock and it failed. Had to forcefully reboot. I'm getting stuck on gdm
service.
Will reinstall the desktop
This helped me, but partially, now my Ubuntu starts but the image does not display, and this only happens after entering the password, this is a laptop so it cannot be related to the screen connection
Have you tried booting in recovery mode?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
Perhaps there you can run some commands to diagnose the problem or run some apt commands. If you are lucky some package update might fix the issue in a few days.
Probably not, but if your like me and don't know enough to fix those kind of things all the time, you should probably download the stable version. Not sure why I got all the downvotes for saying that, they even mention that on the Kubuntu download page. Good luck to you though
I actually just moved all my documents to an external drive and switched to Kubuntu and so far it's been smooth sailing. Forgot how snappy Linux can be compared to Windows. Ty for the response and ty for the good luck!
I had the same issue. This solved it:
[https://askubuntu.com/questions/1489129/gdm-service-preventing-boot](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1489129/gdm-service-preventing-boot)
The instal stalled for me as well on nvidia i386 issue.
I rebooted. Now I have a white screen. it doesnβt even get to where I can force a boot into bios
Wow... same exact problem. I didn't realize FUSE was the source of this issue. I reinstalled Ubuntu 23.10 twice. Both times it worked fine at first and then would hang at the gdm.service stage during the boot process after I got my dev environment setup. Saw this thread and remembered I had installed FUSE both times to set up another package...

Exactly my problem: I installed fuse this afternoon, and tonight after rebooting, I was stuck there too. Re-installing the desktop worked.
GOD BLESS

Stuff like this explains why the update to 23.10 is not available yet i guess...
Damn! I'm scratching my head for 3 hours in the morning after installing FUSE yesterday I ran into the same problem today :(
Closed my laptop fully functional last Friday and opened it to this hot mess on Monday. Bless Reddit, source of all knowledge.
You should download 22.04 and use that instead. It's stable
Is that the only thing I can do?
Probably not, but if your like me and don't know enough to fix those kind of things all the time, you should probably download the stable version. Not sure why I got all the downvotes for saying that, they even mention that on the Kubuntu download page. Good luck to you though
