Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Switching to a second user falls back to Wayland even when Xorg was
explicitly selected.
[ Test Plan ]
On an NVIDIA DGX Station (known to reliably reproduce the issue):
1. Start with a default Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop install
2. apt install linux-modules-nvidia-525-server-generic
nvidia-driver-525-server -y
3. reboot (so new modules load)
4. Login to a desktop session
5. Create a new user using 'adduser'
6. Attempt to "switch to" the new user from the existing login
[ Where problems could occur ]
Any part of the login procedure as that is what is being modified.
[ Original Description ]
I have three accounts and I need all three to run on xorg instead of
wayland.
For some reason, when switching accounts, two of them consistently
start wayland even when I select plain gnome from the gdm menu. To get
xorg, I need to log out and log in a second time.
A solution that is supposed to work consists in customizing
/etc/gdm3/custom.conf (see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-
US/quick-docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/). This
solution does not work.
I have also experimented with the following options:
DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop
and
PreferredDisplayServer=xorg
Neither appears to set xorg as the default...
I have found the following bug reported upstream against gdm:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/733.
It looks like this was fixed a year ago but my system is still affected.
Note that I am using the gnome-session package. I doubt whether it
makes any difference but I am adding it for the sake of completeness.
