It starts only if I log in and only if I start typing some command in the terminal after I've logged in. If I wiggle the mouse for a while it just continues to hang. If I just log in and don't type any command it doesn't start either. It's really weird! Here's what I've tried so far: - I've added the "Debian-gdm" user to "video" group as well, thought it might help, but it didn't. - I updated the NVIDIA driver to both 384.130 and the newest 396- version but neither of those helped. - If I edit the "/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf"-file and comment out the "#WaylandEnable=false"-line the NVIDIA driver does load (I can hear the fans of my graphics card go silent) but then I get a completely blank screen.
