Running into this issue on 19.10, so none of the unity-specific solutions work. If I switch TTY with ctrl+alt+F1, after I try to log back in and just see the desktop background, I'm brought to login screen again, but this time log in is successful. Disabling all gnome extensions doesn't seem to help. Happens every time after suspending laptop.
Not sure if this is helpful or relevant, but I tried looking at the following logs: % journalctl -e /usr/bin/gnome-shell Feb 16 12:15:05 tula-Z gnome-shell[2114]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/signals.js 135]: Too many arguments to method Clutter.Actor.destroy: expected 0, got Feb 16 12:15:05 tula-Z gnome-shell[2114]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/signals.js 135]: Too many arguments to method Clutter.Actor.destroy: expected 0, got Feb 16 12:15:15 tula-Z gnome-shell[2114]: An active wireless connection, in infrastructure mode, involves no access point?
