Key issue : From lockscreen to login screen

[Azarea]

Hi,

After pressing Super+L to lock my screen, if I want to unlock it I have to press "Ctrl+Alt+F1" instead of "any key" in order to reach login screen. I don't remember changing anything that could impact that, so I would like to know if this was normal and how to put it back to default behavior.

When you press Super+L what does the screen look like? Is it the same screen if you use Menu->Lock? Or something else?

[Azarea]

Yes it's the same. Just a wallpaper with current date and hour.

as with any other issue with gnome, disable any/all extensions, test again. if that fixes it, turn each extension back on 1 at a time until it breaks again.

Yikes, second update after 2019-01-23 breaking my system. Although this one is more subtle than the issues back then. Locking my screen with Super+L was bugged after the update (first press didn't lock the screen but made it bug out, second press locked it, but the dock was still visible and clickable after locking). Removing dash to dock (Gnome Shell Extension), restarting and re-installing the extension (including re-configuring) solved the problem. Also, is there a reason why I cannot use E…

Ok so the extension doing this was "gnome-shell-extension-arc-menu". I removed it and now it works. I don't really see any difference after removing it so I guess I won't install it back yet.

Thanks

gnome's latest release has issues with some extensions. glad it worked out for you.
