Public bug reported: After updating to Ubuntu 21.04, sometimes after my screen is blanked and locked automatically and I wake it up, the login screen doesn't show my name or picture. It just shows a generic new user photo. If I enter my password, the spinning circle appears next to the password text box and gets stuck that way indefinitely. If instead I press Esc twice, I get back to a login screen with my name and picture and am able to unlock normally.
The issue doesn't happen all of the time; I think that the longer I leave my machine idle, the more likely I am to run into it, though. Here's the issue in the GNOME bug tracker, which advised me to file here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/709 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 Package: gdm3 3.38.2.1-2ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.11.0-22.23-generic 5.11.21 Uname: Linux 5.11.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu65.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Jun 28 16:45:40 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-01-18 (1988 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Beta amd64 (20150805) SourcePackage: gdm3 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to hirsute on 2021-06-07 (21 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.gdm3.custom.conf: 2020-09-09T20:54:43.309931 ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug hirsute -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1933888 Title: Login screen displays unknown user when coming back from blank screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1933888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
