I switched to sddm and rebooted.
The menu had one GNOME entry at the top, a few other entries, GNOME Classic, GNOME on Xorg, GNOME, and finally other entries. I tried the top GNOME entry a few times on 3 different accounts (root, admin, and bill). Each time, I was returned to the login screen. I changed my choice to the GNOME entry below GNOME on Xorg. That login was successful.
I saved the text of the journal file by doing "journalctl -b > jgnome.txt". I then put it on the google drive. Here's the link to the journal file: "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tbS1WIKzAWQeiPvVMFgevywRJpD0BMUL/view?usp=s...".
I did all the suggested searches. Overall, a lot of hits, especially for "gnome-session". What I saw in the lines surrounding the hits did not make adequate sense to me. I did the searches again by doing "journalctl -b | grep -i -n [string]", and then pasted the results into another text file. I then put it on the google drive. Here's the link to the search results: "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dssC9qrVdizFUGVHHuYV7U4-O2xq_VNY/view?usp=s...".
Next, I'll again switch to sddm, and try Plasma on wayland.
