This is an annoyance, but I thought I should post about it and see if anyone knows the solution.

I found:

But my situation is different as the laptop DOES eventually log in, it just takes a while (like 10 seconds or so, even if the user was already logged in and just locked).

I did try disabling Wayland, and it did not affect the problem (i.e. nothing improved).

I also found:

But there are no answers; it's probably related since I've had to log in a second time at least once.

The usual case is that I will come to the laptop (which is a family laptop which rarely has fewer than three users logged in), swipe up and find the lock screen for another user, click "log in as another user", wait for a second or two while it switches to the main login window, click on my name, type in my password, press enter, and then watch the screen blink nine times between a black screen and the login window (where I just put in my password) before it logs me in.

This isn't just my account; all the users in the family have this experience.

The question: How can I make logins faster and get rid of the flashing black screen experience?

(I'm expecting more information will be needed to answer the question, but I'm not sure what information I should include.)

The hardware is a Lenovo ThinkPad L540.

I got same problem and tried to fix it for some time.

Try this one, this worked for me:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock transparency-mode FIXED

I found this solution here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2404491

Another user reported success by removing ubuntu dock extension

sudo apt-get remove gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

( I didn't tried this one jet, waiting for results after transperency-mode change )
