Public bug reported:
I am testing Ubuntu 24.04 beta and using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers
(550.67).
Prior to installing the drivers packages (using nouveau), the system
would load gdm3 in Wayland.
After installer the drivers package, the system would load gdm3 in X11.
This appears to be caused by the configuration file at
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
However, according to the comments in the rules file, it should prefer
Wayland:
# Disable wayland when nvidia modeset is disabled or when drivers are a lower
# version than 470,
# For versions above 470 but lower than 510 prefer Xorg,
# Above 510, prefer Wayland.
I am able to work around this by making a system override on the file,
in /etc/udev/rules.d:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 18 00:34 61-gdm.rules -> /dev/null
With this in place, when booting, gdm3 will be loaded with Wayland.
