I've solved the problem. It has to do with using either Wayland versus Xorg. I search for Gnome bugs relating to logging in and found one that said to edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf. From the script fragment below, uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg, save and reboot [daemon] # Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg #WaylandEnable=false # JEH WaylandEnable=false Apparently Wayland does not currently work on an HP Pavilion notebook. It is good that one can select between Wayland and Xorg.
