After doing a `sudo pacman -Syu` just now and upgrading the following packages:

- libgdm (3.22.1-1 -> 3.22.2-1)
- gdm (3.22.1-1 -> 3.22.2-1)
- vala (0.34.4-1 -> 0.34.5-1)

I have found that when I try to log in, even though I have done a restart twice already, I just enter into a login loop where if I get the password correct login screen disappears at the moment leaving only that gray background, and then in a few seconds when normally my desktop would it appear, I just get brought back to the login screen. So I am unable to log into GNOME, however if I select GNOME Classic from the list for some reason all works fine. My system runs Wayland 1.13.0-1 so I haven't tested the Xorg option to see how it behaves because I don't have that installed. All was working fine before the upgrade of GDM.

This is really annoying as I am unable to get into the nice DE session I like.
This task depends upon

Same thing here, stuck in the login loop. The following packages were updated since the last successful Wayland login:

I downgraded both libgdm and gdm back to version 3.22.1-1 and it does not loop anymore.

Confirm this bug. Downgrading gdm and libgdm it works flawlessly.

I can confirm this bug, using startx gnome-session works fine as a alternative for people wo don't need gdm temporary. Downgrading libgdm and gdm also solves this Issue.
Comment by Tom (tomhah) - Friday, 03 March 2017, 21:19 GMT
Same issue, temporarily solved by downgrading libgdm and gdm.

I have attached some sample output from journalctl which may prove somewhat useful as it has errors related to this.

Should this issue be reported in the upstream GNOME bugtracker?
Comment by Sunny Wong (ArchDoctor_needed) - Saturday, 04 March 2017, 06:17 GMT
+1 Same issue. "Gnome on Xorg" and "Gnome Classic" works as workaround.
Comment by vaibhav (captJrod) - Saturday, 04 March 2017, 18:43 GMT
This latest updates for xorg-server and xorg-server-xwayland didn't solve the looping issue.

Amazingly downgrading of libgdm and gdm (3.22.2-1 -> 3.22.1-1) is working with this new xorg-server updates.

Please try gdm-3.22.2+6+g4c7af60f-1 / libgdm-3.22.2+6+g4c7af60f-1.
Comment by Kelvyn Tesoro (princealohurr) - Sunday, 05 March 2017, 06:21 GMT
gdm-3.22.2+6+g4c7af60f-1 & libgdm-3.22.2+6+g4c7af60f-1.

Wayland login via GDM now works with updated packages.
