Bug#965099: XWayland: Won't startup session with my specific GNOME configuration
Package: xwayland
Version: 2:1.20.4-1+deb10u2
Followup-For: Bug #965099
Hello,
I had exactly the same symptomps, not being able to login, with black screen
and pointer frozen, only with a specific user account (while the other one on
the same machine was working fine).
In my case, I tracked down the issue to an XDG autostart entry launching Franz
(a multi-provider IM client). Once disabled the autostart entry I've been able
to log in again. Manually launching Franz works fine.
I could not find anything useful in logs, beside some "Cannot connect to
XWayland" message. Maybe it could be some race condition.
I hope this additional report can help somehow. Regards
