Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 17.10 Gnome Shell does not start on X11 session. Trying to run Ubuntu on X from GDM results in a black screen and a border less geary window (startup application). Gnome shell/mutter never starts.
Same things happens with Budgie desktop which uses mutter as well. I'm able to run mate and cinnamon on X11 perfectly fine but GnomeShell and Budgie only run on Wayland.
