OK, I've figured out what is going on. If you are on the activities overview and you change the resolution of the VM it then goes back to the desktop.
I'll see if there are any bugs upstream as it happens on Fedora rawhide as well ... ** Summary changed: - gnome-session impish 40 update login quickly causes desktop rather than activites overview + Changing the resolution while in the activites overview changes to the desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1944431 Title: Changing the resolution while in the activites overview changes to the desktop Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: What Happened 1) Installed the package gnome-session (ensuring it is the latest version) 2) At gdm picked "GNOME" and not "Ubuntu" 3) Reboot and login to the desktop 4) Notice that initially the activity overview is shown (correctly) 5) Then within a second or so, something causes the desktop to be focused and activity overview closed (incorrect) Further notes: - if you log out and log back in again, it doesn't happen ? - if you wait on the gdm login for a long period of time (eg over a minute) then it doesn't happen ? - this is *not* the Ubuntu session but the GNOME session What I expected to happen: At step 5 for the activity overview to stay and not switch to the desktop until the user has interacted. I understand that the Ubuntu session with the dock enabled wants the desktop to be the current state after login. But for the GNOME session with no extensions enabled, the way that if one logs in quickly and something is triggering the activity overview to be dismissed appears to be a bug. $ apt policy gnome-session gnome-session: Installed: 40.1.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 40.1.1-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 40.1.1-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Impish Indri (development branch) Release: 21.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1944431/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
