Bug Description

Release: 17.10
gnome-menus:
  Installed: 3.13.3-6ubuntu5
  Candidate: 3.13.3-6ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 3.13.3-6ubuntu5 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I added Ubuntu Gnome shell. After that, the screen was black (but everything else seemed to be ok). I selected the "gdm" (not the "light" one).

Then I tried to upgrade to 17.10 then the gnome-menus failed the upgrade. Prior to the failure, there were a dozen or so of "assertions ... =! NULL" errors one after another.

The Gnome shell would accept my password but then back to login. I changed the shell to "Unity" and everything looked liked before the 17.10 upgrade (except the repeated errors above).

I will try to recover using my backup disk.
