Hi, i'm running Ubuntu 19.10 on a Thinkpad L530 with automatic login enabled. I hadn't made any changes to my computer's settings but when I powered the laptop on today, I ended up with the login loop in gdm3. What I did was switch to a new terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F2, log in there, update apt, install lightdm, and switched to lightdm for login. I then rebooted, entered my password on lightdm and was back to work.
