Not on first login but on switch user after entering correct password I get purple screen and mouse.
Sometimes after a long delay I can get back to the login screen. I can usually force it back to the login screen by hitting a few random cycles of ctl+alt + F1, ctl+alt F2 and ctl+alt + F3. At this point, if I click on the the user that failed it shows a message about authorization problem (but the password was correct). At login of this user it then allows access. I know on subsequent logins it is going to fail as soon as I see the purple screen. If I see initial black, I know it is going to work OK. I noticed this issue on an initial clean build on erased disks. Concerned about my hardware, I rebuilt again from clean and the problem is the same. I do not have a graphics card. I have: Intel® Core™ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz × 8. Ram = 24g. -- 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/1766137 Title: [regression] Password accepted but login fails (blank purple screen and mouse pointer only) Status in gdm: Confirmed Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix 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.
