The version of GNOME in Ubuntu 17.10 is now quite different to when this bug was reported.
Does the bug still occur with newer images from here? http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697450 Title: Gnome Shell hangs at startup Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm trying to install from the daily Artful desktop image (20170612). After boot, the gnome session hangs at startup, while the "zoom" animation is being shown.
