Well, you was the only one affected by that problem (so a local issue i would say); and you now confirm 17.10 is not reproducing the bug; that's a good news, and enough to close it. ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741511 Title: GDM3 display manager: logon constantly trying to "press enter" - unable to login using PTY To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1741511/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1741511] Re: GDM3 display manager: logon constantly trying to "press enter" - unable to login using PTY
If it were a physical key stuck issue, the login screen would be attempting login much faster (there is a key repeat frequency for held down keys). I did confirm by "smushing" the keys. Also, if the user goes to a non-graphical PTY terminal, there are NO symptoms of "stuck keys". So it's definitely not a hardware/keyboard problem. -- However, as suggested, it _could_ be a soft-issue within GDM3. Next time the situation occurs, is there any other debug information to gather other than "try to tap some keys"? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741511 Title: GDM3 display manager: logon constantly trying to "press enter" - unable to login using PTY To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1741511/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1741511] Re: GDM3 display manager: logon constantly trying to "press enter" - unable to login using PTY
It sounds like you might have a key repeating, only logically in software, and only in gdm3. You may wish to: (a) Test a different keyboard, even briefly; or (b) When the problem happens again, on the login screen tap your Enter, Shift, Ctrl, Alt keys a few times each. If one is virtually stuck down in software that might unstick it. ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741511 Title: GDM3 display manager: logon constantly trying to "press enter" - unable to login using PTY To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1741511/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
