I just found out yesterday that, if you enable auto-login, gdm never hangs like this anymore.
This is kinda bad for security and debugging/testing but hopefully it can still be of use to someone until this bug gets fixed. Also this is not related to bad gnome extensions as, on my machine, gdm still got stuck on a purple screen with no local extensions installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766137 Title: [regression] Password accepted but login fails (blank purple screen and mouse pointer only) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1766137/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
