Tim, indeed, if KMS is enabled, gdm starts perfectly in wayland mode and you can use gnome-shell wayland session (glx is however broken). But if you would like to use gnome-shell Xorg session, then gnome-shell will crash, because apparently gdm starts xorg in rootless mode (I presume uid of user being logged in, which makes logically sense).
This is exactly the problem: enabling KMS by default would break gnome- shell xorg session. Regrading logs. Could you maybe give me some hints for what should I look, because nothing looks suspicious. It's pretty clear, that xorg is lacking some permissions for some resources, but the question is, which exactly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672033 Title: Xorg does not work in rootless mode on nvidia proprietary drivers (GNOME) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/1672033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
