On Ubuntu 17.10...
TEST 1 - NO ISSUE:
1. Set onboard graphics as primary in BIOS.
2. Logged into Ubuntu.
3. Everything was fine.
4. Restarted machine.
TEST 2 - ISSUE:
1. Set GeForce GTX 670 in BIOS.
2. Logged into Ubuntu 17.10.
3. Surprisingly, I was given option of "GNOME" or "GNOME Xorg" in GDM.
(Note: GNOME == Wayland)
4. Selected GNOME on GDM
5. Logged into Ubuntu.
6. Received this error.
7. Checked which display server is in use:
$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11
(Note: x11 == Xorg, non-Wayland)
This makes sense because Ubuntu defaults to Xorg for Nvidia cards.
QUESTIONS:
1. Perhaps unrelated, but why is GDM even presenting me with a Wayland
option when the graphics card is Nvidia?
2. Does this bug occur whenever Ubuntu decide to chose an Xorg session
over a Wayland session? (I see this bug is pretty old, pre-Wayland, but
thought it's worth asking).
