Package version (apt-cache policy gdm3) gdm3: Installed: 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Prerequisites: - Use Ubuntu 19.10 - You need at least 2 users (e.g. user1 and user2) Step to reproduce: - Start your computer - At the graphical login prompt, log in with user1: user1 is able to log in, its desktop is shown - While logged into the desktop of user1, choose "Switch user" - When back at the user selection screen, choose the profile of user2 - Provide the password for user2 and attempt log in RESULT: The desktop of user2 is never shown. Instead, a purple screen is shown. If I click CTRL+ALT+F1 I go back to the tty1, select user 1, enter password and the user1's desktop is shown again. NOTE 1: The same happens when user2 was the first to log in after a reboot of the system. User2 is able to log in, and user1 is then stuck in a login loop. NOTE 2: If instead of switching user, I logoff user1 and logon user2 everything works properly but of course every time I do this I lose my user1's session (therefore the workaround is not good enough) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 Package: gdm3 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0-42.34-generic 5.3.18 Uname: Linux 5.3.0-42-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Mar 29 13:18:31 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-02-15 (42 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Release amd64 (20191017) SourcePackage: gdm3 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) mtime.conffile..etc.gdm3.custom.conf: 2020-03-28T11:16:16.647797 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1869574/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
