I commented out the suggested line but the only effect is that switching accounts is now completely impossible. More specifically, it prevents me from getting past the login screen: 1. I select "switch user" from my running user session 2. I am sent to the login screen 3. I select a different user and submit the password 4. the screen goes black for a second 5.... and I find myself back at step 2 6. All I can do at this stage is log in again as my initial user
After enabling debugging in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf, /var/crash has received a pulseaudio related crash message. I see the owner is my initial user so I am not sure it has anything to do with my other user accounts. Should I append the crash file here as an attachment? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2006059 Title: systemd refuses to start secondary Xorg logins [org.gnome.Shell@x11.service: Skipped due to 'exec-condition'.] Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have three accounts and I need all three to run on xorg instead of wayland. For some reason, when switching accounts, two of them consistently start wayland even when I select plain gnome from the gdm menu. To get xorg, I need to log out and log in a second time. A solution that is supposed to work consists in customizing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf (see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en- US/quick-docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/). This solution does not work. I have also experimented with the following options: DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop and PreferredDisplayServer=xorg Neither appears to set xorg as the default... I have found the following bug reported upstream against gdm: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/733. It looks like this was fixed a year ago but my system is still affected. Note that I am using the gnome-session package. I doubt whether it makes any difference but I am adding it for the sake of completeness.
