Hello!

I had this happen to me once, when I installed a GUI on a server-install.

IIRC, I used the command

apt install kde-full

This added a lot of extra packages of course for the KDE environment, as
well as some xorg-things I didn't see when I installed gnome (ubuntu-
desktop). This may, or may not be the culprit in your case.

Anyway, upon logoff, and at the login screen, I chose the default DE (gnome)
and then it worked as expected.

However, I got curious with KDE and started using that eventually.


HTH.
