I receive the following warning: Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system. Users in the 'systemd-journal' group can see all messages. Pass -q to turn off this notice. No journal files were opened due to insufficient permissions. Retrying as superuser I didn't receive the warning but the log was empty.. ** Attachment added: "gnome-shell.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1695872/+attachment/4889746/+files/gnome-shell.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695872 Title: GNOME on Wayland session could not be started from lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1695872/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

OK, could you please: 1. Start a separate VT login: Ctrl+Alt+F4, and log in. 2. Return to lightdm (Ctrl+Alt+F7) and attempt a Gnome login. 3. After it fails return to Ctrl+Alt+F4 and take a copy of the log using this command: journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell > gnome-shell.log 4. Attach gnome-shell.log to this bug. I hope in future bug reports will do this automatically for users, but they don't yet. ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695872 Title: GNOME on Wayland session could not be started from lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1695872/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I have an nvidia/intel hybrid GPU (GTX-850M), with nvidia proprietary drivers (nvidia-375) from the supported drivers PPA. The attempt failed when using the intel GPU, so the nvidia part is not involved. Using GDM I could load a fully functional Wayland session. I'm using also the most updated Linux/X/Mesa HWE stack from main repository (I think it's based on the 16.10 stack). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695872 Title: GNOME on Wayland session could not be started from lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1695872/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

That might be true, but NVIDIA isn't mentioned anywhere in this bug. fcole90: What GPU/drivers are you using? ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695872 Title: GNOME on Wayland session could not be started from lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1695872/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
