Ubuntu gets stuck in a login loop

To start English is not my primary language so sorry for any mistakes. Before upgrade i was using gnome on Ubuntu 16.04 with lightdm and it worked fine. After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 I switched to gnome gdm3. First day i could login to my user, configure gnome and so on. However the next day when i try to login first time login screen just comes back again but after second time it just freezes. Can someone help me with this problem?
In advance thanks for help.
UPDATE: I switched back to lightdm and it works just fine. However i would still like to use gdm3 because i like it more.

I am also having a problem with gdm3 and I have to use lightdm with 18.04. Log out and log in with another user will result into same blank screen. I can log in after boot however and funny enough with the same user I previously logged out. It will not make any difference with wayland or xorg. I tried to edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment: WaylandEnable=false (someone had this idea), but that resulted into freeze after log out even before selecting a login user.

My Dell Inspiron 7559 has the same problem. Have rebooted 100 times, the system always freezes immediately after I input my account password except only once it magically works. I can log in after I switched to lightdm.

You need to install your graphics drivers.
On your login page, press CTRL+ALT+F2
Enter your credentials and use the below commands (if you're using Nvidia graphics card)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-390
If you're using some other graphics card then use the related command.

The funny part is that on Ubuntu 16.04 (that i had before) the drivers for my video card were not working properly, however i read that 17.10 drivers worked for that specific video card. At the moment amd webpage doesnt really give any good drivers for my video card.

Okay try this, it worked with my Nvidia graphics card. Use the settings button on login page and select "Ubuntu on Wayland" and then try logging in. It should show your desktop in a few minutes. Remember to give it time for the first login.

When I enter my password, it is rejected first time. Then second time, it logs in but stays stuck. No icons or window appear.
I was able to login after I switched to lightdm .

I am also having a problem with gdm3 and I have to use lightdm with 18.04. Log out and log in with another user will result into same blank screen. I can log in after boot however and funny enough with the same user I previously logged out. It will not make any difference with wayland or xorg. I tried to edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment: WaylandEnable=false (someone had this idea), but that resulted into freeze after log out even before selecting a login user.
