I have a problem when logging on when I turn on my PC.
If I enter my password correctly, it starts without problems.
But if I enter my password incorrectly and then I enter it correctly, it does not show me the desktop, the screen only shows the wallpaper.



I would also like to know if the error only happens to me, or also to you. I just installed Ubuntu.

  • I have the same problem, I found a walk around: when I press alt + ctrl + F2 then alt + ctrl + F1 I can reenter my passowrd and log in.

This is a known bug that's listed in the release notes. This bug affects me, please click the button at the top of the bug to say that it affects you too. The workaround is to click Cancel after entering an incorrect password and then to re-enter your password. Also, if you are able, please keep an eye on this bug and help GNOME get the logs they need to fix the issue! :)

  • Those bugs are all about entering a wrong password. I have the same behaviour (the beaver background with a mouse cursor but nothing else, can't even move the mouse) but without entering a wrong password (at least, not since the latest reboot).

  • Try filing a bug for that @Adeynack but say in the description that it's not a duplicate of bug 1766137 because it's not a bug after entering the wrong password.

I personally solved (or worked around) the problem by clicking on the gear on the password screen and selecting Ubuntu on Wayland instead of Ubuntu (on classic X). The bug is not present in my case with Wayland.
