Public bug reported: With Ubuntu 20.04, GDM 3.34.1 (bundled with Focal), and the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, I am unable to use Wayland to login, and can only use XOrg. Debugging this a little, I found that wayland support is wholesale disabled when proprietary NVIDIA drivers are used by this rule: /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules (coming from the gdm3 package), however it seems there may be more to this as well in upstream so this seems to affect mutter as well.
To be clear, my system only has NVIDIA graphics, I do not also have an Intel integrated GPU, so this is not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1862531. ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) Status: New ** Tags: focal groovy nvidia nvidia-drm.modeset ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887652 Title: wayland not available with proprietary nvidia drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1887652/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
