But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => mutter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725949 Title: nouveau drivers fails to start a wayland session and fallback to x11 Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I have a Nvidia GTX 670. I tried the nouveau driver. At boot, it takes a unusual long time then finally shows me gdm3 and everything is working after. But echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE is set to "x11". Reading the logs, I can see that after multiple failures to launch wayland, it falls back to X11. I added an attachement of journalctl -b -1 where it fails with nouveau (I'm filling the bug after reinstalling nvidia proprietary driver). lspci -v 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 670] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: eVga.com.
