TTY 1 opens everytime I want to login on ubuntu 21.10 with Gnome 40

Recently a weird thing is happening, every time I try to login into my user account, ubuntu opens something similar to a TTY, but it is not exactly a TTY.

So what exactly happens is, I boot up my system, the login screen prompts and I click on the user name I want to login to. Once I click on the username it opens a login prompt but instead of opening a GUI prompt, it opens a TTY-like CLI prompt.

The prompt looks like-

Ubuntu 21.10 Linux console

Linux login:

After I login into it, I get just a normal TTY interface (I can only type commands).

Some important information:-

I am on ubuntu 21.10 Impish with Gnome 40.
Sometimes it straightaway boots into that TTY-like interface.
I am using orchis as a shell theme and application theme.
I have changed the GDM background image to a custom wallpaper using this script from GitHub
I could temporarily fix this issue by going to TTY2 and then again TTY1.

When I go to TTY2 and then switch to TTY1 the Login prompt is fine as usual.

Here are the contents of /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

$ cat custom.conf


# GDM configuration storage

# See /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas for a list of available options.

#  TimedLoginDelay = 10

AutomaticLoginEnable=False
AutomaticLogin=user_name

I tried using lightdm as the display manager but that also didn't worked.

Sounds like your Xorg server is crashing when you try to log in. Look at the latest file in `/var/log/X*` (or possibly the second latest) and see if there are interesting errors at the end.

Any line with EE on the left is interesting.

Is the gkr-pam line the last line in the file? Check the last several files (sort with `ls -ltr /var/log/X*`) and make sure you are looking at the log file from the crash, not the current one after it restarted.

Your problem is with *"I have changed the GDM background image to a custom wallpaper using this script from GitHub"*. Undo this.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
