Even with GDM3... The problem seems to be the foundation somewhere, as this one was installed originally as Kubuntu from the Kubuntu 23.10 installer ISO.
The second on that was the comaparison was originally installed from the Ubuntu 23.10.1 Installer ISO. This test originally was spurned from three users telling that htey were gettig core 1 of their CPU's pegged at 100% when installed with the Kubuntu iso, but had no trouble at all installing with the Ubuntu iso, then adding the Kubuntu Desktop to it... Ohter Kubuntu users were having locking problems, if installed from the Kubuntu iso... The idea was brought up to try other desktops to see if there was a locking problem with those desktop installed on a Kubuntu foundation, with parallel tests of being installed from the Ubuntu iso as the comparison... I could not replicate that CPU problem, nor the system locking up, but I did find this. This test case #1 randomly crashes back to the Login Manager, no matter which DM is set to the Default... Even If I set GDM3, and/or SDDM as the DM. Like I said above, installing ubuntu-desktop on top of that, actually sorted out a lot of the initial problems it was having. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2041328 Title: gnome-session crash on Kubuntu 23.10 Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I had been at the Issue section of Canonical's github for ubuntu- desktop-installer's issue section and felt compelled to answer some user's questions about their problems.

Basically the same packages. Just a difference in the order they were installed, and the image they were installed from.. VM#1 crashes on gnome-session (will manually upload crash report, as apport failed while submitting) Test was just to log out and select a session type from LightDM, so see if it went to a desktop. If it locked up, I toggled over to vtty4 to issue: 'sudo killall lightdm' , to get back to the graphical login In test T1-a, logged out, the only Gnome mode that would go to a desktop without locking up the machine was Gnome on Wayland. Standard Name of "Gnome" is repeated/duplicated, even though there is only one desktop file for it in /usr/share/xsessions... There seems to be another But there is another gnome.desktop file somewhere, as I could edit the Name in that file to isolate if there was actually 2 files in the search path. At this time, both options of "GNOME" failed, and GNOME on xorg failed. * The GNOME desktop file that is located elsewhere is in /usr/share/wayland-sessions/... In test T1-b, only the .desktop file located in /usr/share/xsessions does not work... The duplicated GNOME entry located at /usr/share/wayland-sessions/gnome.desktop works. Just installing ubuntu-desktop corrected a lot of problems that gnome-session had, when installed without that, but some issues with gnome-session remain. Test T2-1 & T2-b, all sessions worked. Crash report is from after Test T1-b, in a Gnome session.
