The problem was more with sssd than gnome. Not sure of the exact source of the problem with SSSD, but applying the following worked as a workaround :
- Run `sudo systemctl edit sssd.service` and add the following: [Service] RuntimeMaxSec=1800 Restart=on-failure - Restart SSSD: $ sudo systemctl restart sssd.service This will restart sssd.service every 30 minutes unless you manually stop it, in which case it'll stay stopped until you manually start it again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1901552 Title: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1901552/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
