This was only confirmed by duplicate bugs about old releases that are
now unsupported. So this isn't confirmed anymore.
The screenshot shows at least two cases of extensions still running on
the lock screen when then should not be. Please be sure to delete the
pidgin extension and everything else in ~/.local/share/gnome-
shell/extensions/ and log in again. Then if the bug happens again,
reboot and run:
journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt
and attach the resulting text file here.
** Summary changed:
- Login screen freezes and sometimes shows artifacts
+ Can't unlock the screen. Spinner keeps spinning
** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
Can't unlock the screen. Spinner keeps spinning
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Sometimes when unlocking, it doesn't accept the correct password and doesn't
show any errors, just keeps spinning and I have to press "escape" twice to be
able to enter the password in the text box again, and this behavior keeps like
that until I restart gdm from another TTY or reboot.
Sometimes while switching TTY's, it shows artifacts like the screenshot.
