This is correct behaviour because Wayland is not yet stable in the presence of an Nvidia proprietary driver. We hope to fix that by Ubuntu 24.10.
The original intention was to enable Wayland for hybrid systems: gdm3 (42.0-1ubuntu7) jammy; urgency=medium [ Alberto Milone ] * Default to Wayland for hybrid systems with Nvidia graphics drivers. Default to Xorg but offer Wayland with the gear button on the login screen for non-hybrid systems with Nvidia graphics drivers. (LP: #1968929) -- Jeremy Bicha <jbi...@ubuntu.com> Thu, 21 Apr 2022 06:32:09 -0400 but even that turned out to be unreliable. And added to that there was an uninitialized variable in gdm3(?) we fixed a year or two ago which was also causing the session selection to not follow the udev rules. So it's all very complicated. Overall we would prefer Nvidia systems DID NOT show a Wayland login option yet, but since you've figured out how to enable it, please be aware of the bug list: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=nvidia-wayland ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix ** Tags added: noble nvidia -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062128 Title: Booting with nvidia proprietary drivers 550.67 results in gdm3 being displayed on X11 rather than Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/2062128/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
