Trying to reproduce on different system (laptop). Same Ubuntu release and GNOME/my desktop system, GDM packages.
$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 $ apt-cache policy gdm3 gdm3: Installed: 3.26.1-3ubuntu3 Candidate: 3.26.1-3ubuntu3 Version table: *** 3.26.1-3ubuntu3 500 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.26.1-3ubuntu2 500 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages The bug is not present. I can switch to a console, log in and log out. I am returned to the text-only login prompt. On my desktop system (with the bug), GDM takes control of the screen at logout. I then have to reboot the system to get control again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764643 Title: Logout after console use freezes GUI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1764643/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
