Same here with a 18.04 upgraded from 17.10

Workaround :
* Hitting Alt+F1 return to GDM who complain about a “login fail” and ask another time my password.
* Another successful password attempt finally launch Gnome correctly.

Side effect :
* Hitting Alt+F3,4,5,... give me ugly graphic mashup.

Try :
* Uncommenting the line bellow in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf file to use Xorg by default don't change anything :
#WaylandEnable=false

Note :
* The blanked screen is always GDM, I don't see the top menu-bar but clicking the right place show the GDM style system menu with only few option like shutdown button and no user sub-menu
* I not obtain blank purple screen but grey screen because I choose original Gnome CSS alternative...
`sudo update-alternatives --set gdm3.css /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css`
