This can happen when there is a buggy extension. When locking/unlocking the screen, extensions are told to deactivate/reactivate, and if any crash during that time then it can leave the shell in a bad state.
To fix this, just delete all locally installed extensions: cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/ rm -rf extensions and log in again. Although if you want to focus on just removing the minimum set of extensions then it sounds like: /home/jgr/.local/share/gnome- shell/extensions/[email protected] is failing before anything else. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2085873 Title: No gnome-shell extensions after lock screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2085873/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
