** Description changed: Impact --------------------- Systems using Nvidia graphics drivers should have an option to use Wayland but Xorg should be the default. Hybrid systems using Nvidia graphics drivers should use Wayland by default. - Test Case - --------- + Test Case 1 + ----------- Create a new user (since existing users can choose their own session). Restart your system after applying the update. Select your name on the login screen. A gear button should appear in the lower right of the screen. Click the gear button. Ubuntu should be selected. If you are using a system with only an Nvidia graphics card (so your system is not a hybrid), there should be an Ubuntu on Wayland option. Otherwise, there should be an Ubuntu on Xorg option. + + Test Case 2 + ----------- + Also verify that the behavior stays the same for systems that don't have Nvidia graphics. + + For instance, an Intel-only system should still default to the Ubuntu + session with a Ubuntu on Xorg option in the gear menu on the login + screen. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- Hybrid systems should actually be using the Intel graphics for to run GNOME Shell so that's why it should be safe to use Wayland by default. There are some suspend & resume issues, an issue with gsync, etc. which is why Nvidia are requesting that we don't enable Wayland by default for systems that are only using the Nvidia graphics driver. We do still make it available in case someone really wants to try without needing to edit system files. Before last week, we were actually using Wayland by default for Nvidia systems so this upload returns most systems back to that status quo. Priority -------- This is a high priority for the Desktop and OEM Teams and it's requested that this update be available as soon as possible after release. The desktop live session defaults to Xorg not Wayland so this doesn't impact that session at all. We are not going to delay the release to get this fix on the Ubuntu 22.04 desktop ISO. Original Bug Report ------------------- I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 on a Dell G15 5511 laptop that have an NVIDIA 3060 GPU. I saw in the last update in the gdm3 package that Wayland will be disabled in machines with hybrid graphics. The question is: In this laptop I can enable optimus to use Intel and sometimes NVIDIA or keep only on NVIDIA (I use this option). So even it's detected two GPUs the Intel one is unused. I think the problem could extend for people with a desktop with an integrated intel GPU and a discrete NVIDIA GPU, since both will be present in the system. So maybe will be necessary to check with more accuracy to check if there are two GPUs, but only one is being used or have a documented option to force the enablement of Wayland.
