Description of problem: after upgrading from fedora 27, cannot see login screen, instead gnome-initial-setup starts. Switching to console, I can login... after uninstalling gnome-initial-setup, login screen shows up, but there is no my user, however I can type it in Also, gnome do not show users, and i cannot create any If I go through initial setup, the new user is not created I am using laptop Lenovo T440s
Looks like also keyboard got crazy, now when I press shift+| then all letters comes as uppercase, the same as CapsLock was on. Alt+tab switches windows only first time, then the switch bar stays on, and I have to click the window to make it desperate. When I boot Live image, then everything works good... I think upgrade from 27 to 28 does not work correctly, and I followed https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade instructions
Can you try if downgrading accountsservice fixes it? dnf downgrade accountsservice*'
Sorry, typoed above. Should be: dnf downgrade 'accountsservice*'
did not help ;(
I am ready to just do the fresh install... but here some logs from jurnal that appear everytime I open users window: May 04 11:43:18 thinkpad-lukes tracker-store[2838]: database is locked May 04 11:43:20 thinkpad-lukes gnome-shell[2339]: Object Meta.WindowActor (0x5617a434bb70), has been already finalized.

I met the same issue. And if I using Ctrl+Alt+F2 to start a new session, and input my username and password, then I can log in my account. But when I check gnome settings-->Details-->Users, I find that there are no users found!
I did not find solution beside wipe the drive and start with fresh install.... After that everything works fine. But because for this problem I haven't upgraded my desktop and my kids laptops.
I think the initial-setup progress can't check the users in the current list, so it login the default gnome-initial-setup.
