Bug Description
9-8-018
I suspect this is a gdm3 bug as a similar bug was reported earlier with blank purple screen. This is running a fully updated fresh install september-8-018
some switch user operations function. Others result in a successful appearance, but the machine is non-responsive. alt-f1 etc. do nothing. Also, logout results in hangup at black screen.
When the user switch works, the mouse pointer shows up bottom right. When the switch appears to work, but doesn't, the mouse pointer shows up at top right, but the machine is frozen. Also, the machine appears to pick a favored user and an unfavored user .. freezing for one and working for the other. In an earlier install, the original user was the favored user .. for current install, the second user seems to be favored and the original user unfavored. This may simply be caused by some sort of toggling effect I suppose, and have nothing to do with the user.
I am running a ubuntu 18.04 amd64 system on
Dell optiplex 755 with
core 2 duo 3.16 ghz
and an SSD
/var/crash folder is empty
/var/log/gdm3 is empty

this appears to be regression of 1766137 from my perspective
