I am almost 100% certain GNOME requires gdm3 as the display manager to
operate and cannot operate using lightdm anymore. Did you attempt to
launch the GNOME session (gnome-shell) using gdm3 as the display manager
as opposed to sddm or lightdm?

Title:
gnome-session crash on Kubuntu 23.10
Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I had been at the Issue section of Canonical's github for ubuntu-
desktop-installer's issue section and felt compelled to answer some
user's questions about their problems. (Long story that I won't dwell
on)
* There was an interesting trend there with Kubuntu user issues. One
Kubuntu user mentioned something that sparked my interest... It was
enough to prompt me to download the latest ISO image for it to
investigate on my own.
Here is the repeatable steps to recreate it:
Create a VM (VM#1)
Install Kubuntu.
Reboot
Apply updates
Reboot
Install gnome-session, LightDm
Reboot
Do some tests (T1-a)
Install ubuntu-desktop...
Do more tests (T1-b)
Create another VM (VM#2)

Should basically be the same right? Basically the same packages. Just
a difference in the order they were installed, and the image they were
installed from..
VM#1 crashes on gnome-session (will manually upload crash report, as
apport failed while submitting)
Test was just to log out and select a session type from LightDM, so
see if it went to a desktop. If it locked up, I toggled over to vtty4
to issue: 'sudo killall lightdm' , to get back to the graphical login
In test T1-a, logged out, the only Gnome mode that would go to a
desktop without locking up the machine was Gnome on Wayland. Standard
Name of "Gnome" is repeated/duplicated, even though there is only one
desktop file for it in /usr/share/xsessions... There seems to be
another
But there is another gnome.desktop file somewhere, as I could edit the
Name in that file to isolate if there was actually 2 files in the
search path. At this time, both options of "GNOME" failed, and GNOME
on xorg failed.
* The GNOME desktop file that is located elsewhere is in
/usr/share/wayland-sessions/...
In test T1-b, only the .desktop file located in /usr/share/xsessions
does not work... The duplicated GNOME entry located at
/usr/share/wayland-sessions/gnome.desktop works. Just installing
ubuntu-desktop corrected a lot of problems that gnome-session had,
when installed without that, but some issues with gnome-session
remain.
Test T2-1 & T2-b, all sessions worked.
Crash report is from after Test T1-b, in a Gnome session.
