 I tried
 dpkg -S `which gdm-panel`
dpkg-query: error: --search needs at least one file name pattern argument

in both user and root.

Thank you for your interest.

OK, it sounds like "gdm-panel" isn't a thing that exists. Please reword the bug description accordingly.

That's a "classic" session it looks like, still the journal log would be useful

affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) → gnome-panel (Ubuntu)

summary: - no gdm-panels in gdm3 ubuntu 18.04

 Yes, at login. I see that the syslog error
gnome-panel[1888]: Getting layout failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject: No such object path '/NO_DBUSMENU'
is not noted in any search I did.
I decided to do unity (I am not a fan, but it seems to work). Would love to see why gnome/gdm3 fails for me, but I can live with unity.
