GDM "bootloop-like" problem

Hello everyone,

I am getting the "Oh no! Something has gone wrong, try log out and back in" error on startup.  I log out and then get the error again, and this repeats several times until suddenly the log screen shows up right.

I checked journalctl and there is a process that repeats with identifying logitech devices (I have several of those) which repeats and seems to be connected to the problem, for example:

So again, this repeats several times either for the same device or different logitech devices with the 'systemd-logind ... paused 0' message always appearing in the end (if I remove them devices everything goes smooth).
I am a newbie, switched to arch from different distros a couple of days ago, running on a pc with gnome 3.18 (and therefore gdm, the problem persists through all upgrades).  I also checked the Xorg logs and there seems to be nothing of interest there.
If there is any other relevant info I need to provide please let me know.

Thank you

Re: GDM "bootloop-like" problem

Sorry that I don't have a solution, but I'll just say that I'm having the exact same problem. I too have logitech devices and repeatedly get the "...paused 0" until a success.
