Oops. I forgot the first rule of gnome-shell bugs: disable extensions. And you do have a lot:

Please also let us know if you find a single extension that is to blame. If you have any problems with the lock screen then please open a new bug for that. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796265 Title: Ubuntu Dock is missing after unlocking screen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After locking the screen, unlocking it again does not return me to a properly working gnome-shell. I can see the desktop background and the top panel (which is responsive). However I cannot access the activities overview, and the Ubuntu dock is missing. One time I noticed that the search field from the activities overview was visible, and it was possible to search for an application. The search did return results, and it was possible to start applications, but they did not show up on the screen. In some cases I could run gnome-shell -r, but this would end the whole session and return me to the login screen.
