I'm also experiencing this bug with Nvidia GTX 1080 using the proprietary driver version 435.21. Issue persists with other driver versions as well. Currently using the same temporary fix as dehein mentioned, turning the automatic login off manually through editing the GDM config file. When fixing the issue this way via TTY I'm also seeing graphical corruption artifacts from the stuck Gnome session desktop that I cannot enter.
When switching to the open source Nouveau drivers I can leave automatic login on without any issues, everything works fine. So in my case this issue seems to be tied to the Nvidia drivers. Also tried to search more online about this issue and most mentions seem to be from Nvidia users. I don't really have anything new to add as everything I thought of has already been reported here, but let me know if I can help in any way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845801 Title: [nvidia] Automatic login fails and then all subsequent logins fail.
