Hi, As discussed with duflu on irc, here are the steps I took to reproduce and produce a log:
1. Enable debug in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf 2. Reboot 3. From other laptop; ssh wendigo journalctl -f 4. Intentially login with a faulty password first, which made GDM just prompt as normal 5. Login with the correct password, which caused the purple screen + mouse 6. Copy the log up to this point 7. Press a bunch of ctrl+alt+fn+f-key combos until I got back to login screen 8. Login as normal, ctrl+c the SSH session and scp the file. ** Attachment added: "wendigo journalctl" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1766137/+attachment/5126446/+files/journalctl -- 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).
