Login screen freezes and sometimes shows artifacts

[Islam]

Sometimes when unlocking, it doesn't accept the correct password and doesn't show any errors, just keeps spinning and I have to press "escape" twice to be able to enter the password in the text box again, and this behavior keeps like that until I restart gdm from another TTY or reboot.
Sometimes while switching TTY's, it shows artifacts like the screenshot.

Thanks for the bug report.

Please run:

  gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.shell > settings.txt
  lspci -k > lspci.txt
  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

and attach the resulting text files here.

Please also run:

  cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell
  rm -rf extensions

and then reboot. Has that improved the situation?

I only had pidgin extension there which I think has no effect on this issue but anyway I removed it and will keep an eye, it happens randomly so there is no certain way to reproduce.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The screenshot in comment #1 looks like bug 1882353. Although the design has changed somewhat in Ubuntu 22.04.

[Islam (islam)]

The artifact issue is exactly as #1882353
But when it doesn't accept the correct password is something different. This can happen also without the artifacts.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Can you clarify what artifacts you see that are not bug 1882353?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Oh maybe you just mean password entry doesn't work when the dock etc is visible?

[Islam (islam)]

I mean after entering the password and pressing enter, it just keep spinning until pressing "escape" to be able to re-enter the password again even if the password is correct, this can happen whether there is artifacts or not.

May be I should create a separate bug for this?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

A new bug for that might make sense, although only really if bug 1882353 was declared fixed and your secondary issue remained. So maybe don't create a new bug just yet.
