Just to clarify current behavior with recent gdm updates If nvidia drivers are installed but not in use (intel prime profile) then the wayland on ubuntu option is present & usable. If the nvidia drivers are in use (nvidia prime profile) then the wayland on ubuntu option is no longer available
(- can think of at least 2 other bugs though maybe premature to file? switching prime profiles with gdm always requires a restart, log out/in doesn't work nvidia-settings can't be opened in a wayland session similar to other apps like synaptic, gparted, ect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702345 Title: ubuntu-wayland: login fails if nvidia drivers are installed Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just loops back to greeter.
