Minimal ubuntu-desktop installation

Hi,

i want to install a minimal Ubuntu without all the bloat it comes with.
Normally this will do the trick…

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends

When i then reboot i get the loginscreen(now gdm)
But when i enter user and passwd i just get a blank screen and after 3-6sec i get back to loginscreen.

I have tried this on severel pc…
Anybody know, how i get this to work?

Thanks
