GDM Login Loop

Hi,

I am stuck at an issue where I keep looping back to Login screen. It seems to be a well known issue for Gnome and I have tried the solutions already here : https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-ubuntu-login-loop/ but it does not help.

Below are the logs using `journalctl -eu gdm`

gdm3[1257]: Failed to contact accountsservice: Error calling StartService8yName for org.freemesktop.Accounts:
systemd[1]: gdm.service: Main process exited, code:exited, status=1/FALLURE
systemd[1]: gdm.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Stopped GNOME Display Manager.
systemd[1]: gdm.service: Triggering OnFailure= dependencies.

I used OCD to get text from a picture of the logs and posted here so there can be small inconsistencies in the logs above (pls ignore them)

Re: GDM Login Loop

If you have an internet connection you can post the exact terminal output: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients

And we'll need more, a complete

sudo journalctl -b

would be best.
