Same here with a 18.04 upgraded from 17.10 Workaround : * Hitting Alt+F1 return to GDM who complain about a “login fail” and ask another time my password. * Another successful password attempt finally launch Gnome correctly.
Side effect : * Hitting Alt+F3,4,5,... give me ugly graphic mashup. Try : * Uncommenting the line bellow in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf file to use Xorg by default don't change anything : #WaylandEnable=false Note : * The blanked screen is always GDM, I don't see the top menu-bar but clicking the right place show the GDM style system menu with only few option like shutdown button and no user sub-menu * I not obtain blank purple screen but grey screen because I choose original Gnome CSS alternative... `sudo update-alternatives --set gdm3.css /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766137 Title: [regression] Password accepted but login fails (blank purple screen and mouse pointer only) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1766137/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
