Thanks! After removing the workspace-grid extension I was able to log in using the Gnome (Ubuntu) desktop again.
I guess the bug is in this extension then, and not in gnome-shell as such, but isn't it bad for gnome-shell that an extension can cause a problem so severe that you can not even log in to disable the extension? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813310 Title: Unable to login! gnome-shell: Execution of main.js threw exception: Script <main> terminated with an uncatchable exception Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 gnome-shell: Installed: 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 Candidate: 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 What I expected to happen: Log in using gnome session What happened instead: Screen blinks and returns me to the login screen Today I am suddenly unable to log in using a gnome session.
