Login loop on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. Xwayland and gnome-shell blocked

My Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS got stuck in login loop. I did nothing special to cause it (maybe some general Ubuntu updates). I tried suggestions from https://support.system76.com/articles/login-loop-ubuntu/ but nothing helped. Only hint I have now is a log which appeared while I logged into my account through tty without GUI. It informs that Xwayland and gnome-shell tasks are blocked (log below). I tried to switch to Ubuntu on Xorg but nothing changes.

Actual symptoms:

  1. Stuck in login loop
  2. Log info appeared in console:
    [ 363.971410 ] INFO: task Xwayland:2280 blocked for more than 241 seconds.
    [ 363.971454 ] Tainded: G       W  OE        6.2.0-26-generic #26~22.04.1-Ubuntu
    [ 363.971480 ] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables the message.
    [ 363.974889 ] INFO: task gnome-shell:2738 blocked for more than 241 seconds.
    [ 363.974919 ] Tainded: G       W  OE        6.2.0-26-generic #26~22.04.1-Ubuntu
    [ 363.974946 ] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables the message.
  1. Switching between Ubuntu and Ubuntu on Xorg changes nothing
  2. CPU is heavily loaded, top utility shows load_average: 1.00

Runs on Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 21

Graphics:

  1. Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (VGA compatible controller)
  2. NVIDIA TU117GLM [Quadro T500 Mobile] (3D contoller)

`edison23` answer from second link is the closest one to my actual solution, so I recommend to read if someone has problem similar to my. (My solution is described below as an answer to this question).

Had the same issue, wasn’t able to use ubuntu-desktop but switching to KDE worked if nothing else works.

install KDE-full using:

sudo apt install kde-full

then use sddm instead of gdm.

Hope this helps

I also had this problem today. Although the Moose2109 solution works, it is not really fixing the problem. The solution is to install the proper nvidea drivers. I installed KDE and then from the GUI I installed the proper nvidea drivers after finding the real issue. However, you can try to run sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall or sudo ubuntu-drivers install and then reboot.

I found a solution to my problem and I am able to log in normally.

Solution was to remove nvidia driver and install specific one, as described below:

  1. Remove nvidia driver as described here. Judging from journalctl logs there were problem with nouveau (open-source nvidia driver).
sudo apt purge ~nnvidia
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt clean
  1. Install new driver (help about Nvidia Driver Installation). The hack here was to install specific one (525), due to sudo ubuntu-drivers install which relies on automatic driver detection did not work.
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:525
sudo systemctl reboot

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.
