[Bug 1845801] Re: [nvidia] Automatic login fails and then all subsequent logins fail. Killing gnome-session-binary fixes it, or just not using automatic login.

Thu Apr 23 23:34:25 UTC 2020

This is exactly what is happening to me. I installed Ubuntu 20.04 today
(The official released version, not beta), and if I set the auto login
on, it will give me the same issue the original poster said. You can't
login afterwards and if your logout, it enter a loop where you will
never come out from unless you purge gdm3 and install it back or other
workarounds that I can't guarantee work alone. I have an Nvidia GTX 1080
running on the Proprietary 440 Driver. My user is "luis" and the
password is "x" in case anyone would want to literally try it out with
the same user/pass/hardware combination.

If I disable the auto login then everything related to logout/login
works correctly.

The hardware is down below of an Asus Hero Alpha VII, Intel 6700k and 64
GB of RAM. The SSD is a Samsung 850 Pro 1TB.

I will try the removing of splash and then adding nvidia-drm.modeset=1
to see how it goes.

Bug description:
  I just updated to the Ubuntu 19.10 beta. After boot, I'm shown the GDM
  login screen (which I shouldn't; I have auto login enabled), and
  logging in just takes me back to the same user selection screen even
  though the password is correct.

  If I switch to a TTY and run `sudo pkill gnome-session-binary`,
  logging in through GDM starts working again.

  I should add that the do-release-upgrade was rocky; I did it in a
  terminal from within gnome, went away for a while, and when I
  returned, I just saw an Ubuntu 19.10 in a TTY. I was able to do `sudo
  dpkg --configure -a` and complete the upgrade, but I don't know if
  something's still messed up due to that.
