Regarding gdm3 3.28.2-0ubuntu1.1; regardless of what I do I cannot make it work. Switching between users 100% of the time results in failure.
Here is what I have done: Someone mentioned that after rebooting their system three times (something like that) it started working albeit slow. I have rebooted my system more than three times and it still doesn’t work. Someone mentioned they switch users by locking the screen then from the locked screen switch to a different user. What I have been doing is clicking in the upper right corner, click on my name then click on switch user. I have tried both methods with the same result, doesn’t work. I can switch from ‘account A’ to ‘account B’ but I have not been able to switch back to ‘account A’. I have logged into ‘account A’ and then switched to ‘account B’. I can logout of ‘account B’ and then login to ‘account B’ again, that works. If I try to switch to ‘account A’ or logout of ‘account B’ and login to ‘account A’ I get locked out. I have the login screen for the two accounts but cannot login to either. After a delay I am returned to the login screen. At this point I did a CTRL-ALT-F4 to get a condole, which worked. I logged into the console as ‘account A’, which worked. I then did CTRL-ALT-F2 to return to windows and logged in to ‘account A’ which sort of worked. I was logged in but things were not setup correct. For instance I could not launch a terminal window; however, I could launch Thunderbird. While in the console I did (as someone suggested) ps aux | grep <user account>, for the two accounts. I saved the output to a file which I will attach (NOTE: for anonymity I will change the account names to ‘account A’ and ‘account B’. Hopefully this will help someone better understand the problem. ** Attachment added: "ps aux log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/gdm3/+bug/1766137/+attachment/5146666/+files/ps.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766137 Title: [regression] Password accepted but login fails (blank purple screen and mouse pointer only) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1766137/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
