Public bug reported:
Hi,
`gnome-session.service` has the following:
| [Service]
| ExecStart=/bin/sh -exc '[ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" != "gnome-classic" ] || export |
GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=classic; \
| export GNOME_SESSION_XDG_SESSION_PATH=${XDG_SESSION_PATH}; \
| [ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" = gnome-flashback-metacity ] && \
| exec gnome-session --builtin --session=$DESKTOP_SESSION
--disable-acceleration-check || \
| exec gnome-session --builtin --session=$DESKTOP_SESSION'
Unfortunately, the latest `gnome-session` no longer supports
`--builtin`. This causes login failures, in particular for me, using
Unity, I get logged back out from the unity greeter.

Removing `--builtin` from `/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session.service`
let's me log in.
With that though, I was not able to input text in chromium (installed
via the snap).
Downgrading `gnome-session-bin`, `gnome-session-common`, and `unity-
session` back to 45.0-1ubuntu1 restores things for me:
