Hi,
I've been experiencing random freezes while trying to log in on gdm. It has become so frequent that my daily routine includes rebooting my PC 2-3 times in the morning until I manage to log in successfully. This has happened in two machines with different hardware so I'm discarding any faulty hardware as it seems unlikely.
This freeze happens after typing my password on gdm and pressing enter. Once it happens I cannot use Alt+Ctrl+F\d to get a terminal nor do anything with the mouse or keyboard. The only thing that does something is pressing the shutdown button which causes gdm to exit and then the OS does a regular shutdown. This issue always happens after boot (It doesn't happen if I lock my session and unlock it later).
The only possible lead I have is that one of the machines where it happens more consistently has some extra hard drives that are mounted in a folder that's owned by my user and I've only experienced this issue on the other machine when I have an usb external drive connected to it. Here's the fstab file for the machine where it happens more consistently:
# Static information about the filesystems.
# See fstab(5) for details.

Are there any logs that I could provide to debug this issue somehow?
Thanks
EDIT: I think my issue is the same as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=292959 so I'm making this one as solved to avoid duplication
