This Black screen on login, gnome-shell eating 100% of CPU

has the same symptoms I have.

I can login with nvidia-drivers if I

  • recovery console at grub
  • make filesystem writeable
  • resume to gui login
  • switch to tty 4 after login screen is visible
  • login on tty4
  • Switch back to gui login on tty1
  • login is possible

How do I debug this? There is nothing useful in the text logs.
