get GDM out of the equation, boot into the multi-user.target, run "startx xterm" and from there "gnome-shell", see what happens.
This works! I logged into the system successfully(after installing many missed packages). But I still cannot log in using gdm(I tried to uncomment that line, rm .Xauthority and gnome-shell, none of them works).
]]>Not works for me... I reboot 5 times, just behaved the same as before. And I found Xorg did not regenerate gnome-shell, but wayland regenerate gnome-shell.
]]>Can you post a journal of the failing boot?
sudo journalctl -b systemctl status bumblebeed
I put journalctl here http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Z8CRchnhw2/
bumblebeed is disable, and the status is:
● bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bumblebeed.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
sudo journalctl -b
systemctl status bumblebeed
This is all over the place…

My xorg has this problem before this upgrade(the last time I updgraded libsystemd is [2018-04-18 21:59] [ALPM] upgraded libsystemd (238.51-1 -> 238.76-1)). I downgrade systemd and libsystemd and uncommenting that line, but that do not help... The system still tried to log in and jump back to login interface after a few seconds.
However, this time after I tried to login system, the left top of my screen blurred(I attached a picture)

I looked Xorg.0.log, but no EE in there. The full Xorg.0.log is here:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pfJhDWJV2k/
I notice a line in log file says:
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
I don't know if it's related to my kernel configuration, because my computer cannot reboot properly without these setting(see here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1762570 )
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1 acpi=force reboot=acpi acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=\"Windows 2009\" acpi_backlight=native"
Also my laptop has two GPU, I use bumblebeed to block NVIDIA. I don't know if it is caused by bumblebeed, so I tried to disable bumblebeed, but it still cannot log into the system:

I searched the Internet, some people say it may be caused by .Xauthority. I tried to rm .Xauthority, the system freeze a while and jump back to login interface, without creating a new .xauthority file.

I syu yesterday, so software version may not be the problem. And it's not caused by update because the problem existed before I updated software.
I don't know why but, waylay works for me, however, it sometimes crashes and fills my journal with dump message(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1539258).
Any help will be welcomed!
