[Bug 1891783] [NEW] autologin breaks keyboard and mouse in GDM3

[Tony Kerr]

Public bug reported:

After upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04, mouse and keyboard are unresponsive.
Re-installing does not fix the problem. Problem is not apparent in KDE
or LightDM. Three workarounds have been found so far:

1. Boot into recovery mode, then exit to normal boot via "resume"
2. Disable autologin. Allows normal bootup via login screen
3. Install alternative desktop manager such as KDE Plasma or LightDM.

Source package is unknown

Release: Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.04.1

Expected behaviour: System boots directly into desktop, mouse and
keyboard both work as normal

Actual behaviour: Mouse and keyboard are non-responsive unless autologin
is disabled.
