I was working on the computer and installed gnome tweak tool I went to the extensions and tried to turn on system monitor ext. However, for some reason, it locked the computer up and now when I log in it keeps looping back to gdm3 login screen.

  • This was dealing with gnome extensions. When I was turning on an extension the tweak tool locked the desktop up. I had to force a hard shutdown by turning off the computer and when I rebooted the system is when the login started. – Richard W. Seitz May 21 '19 at 14:36

    The extension that locked up the computer was the system-monitor extension. – Richard W. Seitz May 21 '19 at 14:56

I am not sure why, but apparently the lockup corrupted something in the gnome-shell directory. To fix I renamed the file .local/share/gnome-shell to ./local/share/gnome-shell.old. I then rebooted the computer.
