The newest log has errors as you said at 14:54:52 and the last line of the log, probably when I saved it, reads 14:55:22. This means that between the time of errors and time of log saving 30 seconds passed, which seems correct as it is the amount of time it has taken me to ctrl- alt-f3, enter credentials and run command. I think it is fair to assume the errors that appeared at 14:54:52 are the ones that concern this bug. Please let me know if my line of reasoning seems correct. The errors indeed are related to gdm so they must be somehow linked to the crash.

This was reproducible on another computer (laptop). I reinstalled Ubuntu and put the package on hold. Later, I found that by installing and activating lightdm, this problem was remediated. Found this solution accidentally, while I was looking to correct login screen loops after I installed the nvidia drivers. This is unrelated, since the laptop does not have nvidia. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-06-29 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) Package: accountsservice 0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-39.43-generic 5.4.41 Tags: focal Uname: Linux 5.4.0-39-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1885452/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
