If I enter my password correct first time, I login as normal.



If I enter my password wrong, it says invalid password. If I attempt to enter the correct password now then the screen freezes and doesn't go to dock as normal. I must restart using a physical button or shutdown to get out. Login works normally after restart, assuming I get it right first time.



EDIT:



After entering a wrong password, if I click cancel and then go back to my user to login, it works fine.

  • Just my research. After the screen freezes, I can use hardware power button to suspend the PC (no shutdown) and then wake it up, then the logon screen works properly regardless if I use wrong or correct password - the screen doesn't freeze this time.

  • Check the gear next to Sign In button after the first bad password and make sure it hasn't changed your Desktop option to a broken one not setup for you yet.

  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix I don't know to what gear button you are referring to. On the login screen there is option to switch user, cancel unlocking and to unlock.

Turns out this is a known bug.



The "Purple Screen of Death" occurs when GNOME fails to launch and this commonly occurs due to the reason in the OP.



A fix would be to switch to a different desktop environment as the problem only occurs with GNOME.
