I have GNOME 3.28.1 which logically is latest version of GNOME coming with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Everything works perfectly but I found a bug which happens when logging in. When I boot my laptop (which is not dual boot, it only has Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed), I press Enter to select the only available user (my user) and then I am prompted to enter my password. If I type my password wrong by a character more (I haven't tried a smaller or a bigger length) and then give the right password the GUI crashes. What I mean by crashing is that I get a static purple screen where I can only move my mouse pointer and nothing else. I get no desktop, no icons, no nothing. I don't know if it is a hardware incompatibility or a bug but it happens every time I follow the steps I mentioned above and then I have to hard shutdown the laptop. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: george 1599 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=10e7b298-4d9e-47e3-a810-d58d8cf6c6ca InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-04-28 (13 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 8087:0a2a Intel Corp.
