Thanks. I can see two recurring issues that might be the cause: 1. Something called 'variety' is failing:
Mar 17 08:16:14 magpie variety.desktop[1860]: /home/weinberg/.config/variety/scripts/set_wallpaper: line 121: [: ==: unary operator expected Try fixing your script, or try uninstalling 'variety'. 2. Multiple crashes in extensions: /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com/* /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com/* But also: 3. Please check that you don't have any gnome-shell extensions installed other than the two default Ubuntu ones (mentioned above). Since they all run in the same process, any buggy extension can break the entire shell. ** Also affects: gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Also affects: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/1755800 Title: Greeter/lockscreen fails to authenicate in an endless loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1755800/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
