Stuck on grey login screen after boot

Same issue as above. I hadn’t figured the ctrl+alt+f1 trick yet. But I had figured out the grey screen is actually active, and if I hit enter, my password, then enter again, GDM would log me in.

Then the damnedest thing happens. Gnome loads but with no top panel. But if I hit Meta/Win, I can see my dash. The fix I found was hitting my hardware button to sleep/unsleep… then the full UI loads.

It’s not an old install, maybe 6 months. But I’m a bad user who didn’t update for like 2 months, and this happened after that update.

Here’s the output of the requested command:
