Public bug reported:

First observation is that the changelog here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/3.34.1-1ubuntu1

says that the blacklisting of wayland+nvidia was reverted:

+ Add debian/patches/revert_nvidia_wayland_blacklist.patch:
      - Don't blacklist nvidia for wayland

But this patch isn't in the sources and the blacklist rule is still
present.

If I disable the udev blacklist rule, wayland on nvidia continues to
work as well as it did in 19.04.

However, I've been doing a bunch of playing around with hybrid
configurations, and there is one situation, where there can be a
problem. If you are using nvidia as your primary graphics device, but
the Intel one is still visible on the pci bus (not disabled in
firmware), then gdm will trigger a kernel oops in the i915 driver if
wayland is not disabled. This didn't happen in 19.04 so it's a
regression somewhere.
