Work around does not work for. It is not about nvidia driver. Lets face
it, it is a showstopper for ubuntu 18.04 until bug is fixed.

Bug description:
  WORKAROUND: After typing an incorrect password, click Cancel, then
  click your name, then enter your password again.

  ---

  Trying to log into my session (Gnome, Xorg), if I enter the wrong
  password before entering it correctly, the session doesn't load and I
  get a purple screen, a mouse cursor, and an invisible but clickable
  menu in the top right. If I enter it correctly the first time, there
  is no problem.

  I've replicated this from a fresh boot, after logging out and after
  'sudo service gdm restart' from the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console.

  This is a fresh install, and didn't occur when I was using a previous
  install of 18.04 (until Friday).
