Must switch TTY in order to display login manager after boot

Hi, I got a small issu on my Lenovo T460s : After booting, I got a black screen with a solid cursor. In order to display the login manager (GDM) I must change to an another TTY then go back to TTY1.
Any idea what causes this ?

What says the gdm log, system log ?

Only a feeling: you may run out of random numbers during boot. Read and verify:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
