I recently updated to Ubuntu 18.04 and cannot boot using Xorg only
Wayland. I have tried reinstalling xorg, reinstalling nvidia drivers,
setting |WaylandEnable=false| in |/etc/gdm/custom.conf| but whenever
trying to login using Xorg I get a frozen screen and mouse.
On my 18.04 system, gdm is running under Xwayland no matter what session
I choose. So I'd suggest commenting out the WaylandEnable=false unless
the gdm login isn't visible on your system.
If I don't comment out WaylandEnabled = false I can't even get to the
login screen so yes I have to comment this out.
Also, the first time I explicitly chose "GNOME on Xorg" at the password
"cog", I got a blank screen with just a mouse cursor. On reboot, GNOME
is happily running on Xorg ($DESKTOP_SESSION is "gnome-xorg") — but
Xwayland's still running too.
Xorg is supposed to be the default for new installations under 18.04,
and I was definitely running it under 17.10. I was surprised to find
that after the upgrade I'd been pushed over to Xwayland.
I am in the same boat, was using Xorg on 17.10 but cannot get it to
work in 18.04. Maybe the only way to get it back is a clean install?
