Can't login to GNOME-Shell

After 10 minutes of me using libre office, my computer fans started spinning up which I thought was strange. Therefore, I logged out of GNOME 3.32 and attempted to log back it but I was sent right back to the gdm login screen. I updated my system and restarted and got the same result. I also attempted to login with GNOME on XORG and it frooze. I was able to log in via TTY and install the cinnamon desktop and i was able to log into that with no problem. I opened a terminal and ran `journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell`
This was my output:

Please use [ code ] not [ quote ] tags.

There's nothing in that excerpt that would point to a problematic issue. Post the entire journal of an affected attempt

sudo journalctl -b #For the current boot -b -1 for the previous boot and so fort

Re: Can't login to GNOME-Shell

i fixed the log and posted the updated one because the previous log was from March 16.  the error seems to be:  gnome-shell[1784]: Connection to xwayland lost

We now have something slightly more tangible, still not enough to make proper assessments. FWIW as things in GNOME are currently quite in flux with issues and fixes popping up rapidly, make sure your system is completely up to date.

Post the entire journal, not just something you personally find interesting.
