Daniel thanks for your work here to try and get this filed correctly. If the logs are different for me and for this bug then perhaps my bug is different? Ray Strode (upstream) thinks the key part of my log is
``` Apr 23 17:43:40 adam-thinkpad-t430 gdm3[2997]: GdmSession: Emitting 'session-opened' signal [...] Apr 23 17:43:40 adam-thinkpad-t430 gdm3[2997]: GdmSession: external connection closed ``` Chris A, please could you (as Ray suggested to me) put `Enable=true` (without backticks (``)) in the `[debug]` section of `/etc/gdm/custom.conf`, reboot, reproduce and post the updated logs? Maybe then we'll be able to see if this issue is the same as mine or not (and if not then maybe Chris A's problem needs a separate upstream bug). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766137 Title: [regression] Password accepted but login fails (blank purple screen and mouse pointer only) Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Trying to log into my session (Gnome, Xorg), if I enter the wrong password before entering it correctly, the session doesn't load and I get a purple screen, a mouse cursor, and an invisible but clickable menu in the top right. If I enter it correctly the first time, there is no problem. I've replicated this from a fresh boot, after logging out and after 'sudo service gdm restart' from the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console. This is a fresh install, and didn't occur when I was using a previous install of 18.04 (until Friday).
