if yes, can you provide an easy way (steps) to reproduce it?
thanks
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Arch Linux
2. Don't create a new user or anything, just install gnome-shell package and gnome-initial-setup package
3. systemctl enable --now gdm.service
(Issue persists through reboot)
@heftig: the initial setup mode launches GDM as user "gnome-initial-setup", so you should modify the PAM file to allow this user.
