Your log shows repeating errors from "gnome-shell --wayland ..." set 13 10:51:11 fate dbus[772]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="error", sender=":1.1" (uid=0 pid=757 comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.76" (uid=1000 pid=1629 comm="gnome-shell --wayland --display-server --mode=clas") set 13 10:51:11 fate dbus[772]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="error", sender=":1.1" (uid=0 pid=757 comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.76" (uid=1000 pid=1629 comm="gnome-shell --wayland --display-server --mode=clas") set 13 10:51:11 fate dbus[772]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="error", sender=":1.1" (uid=0 pid=757 comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.76" (uid=1000 pid=1629 comm="gnome-shell --wayland --display-server --mode=clas")
That makes me think some extra environment is required to make it work. Either that or systemd-logind is preventing it from working and requires some custom syntax. Have you tried waiting for a full minute or two on the black screen? If a DBus call is timing out then each one will require 25 seconds to unblock. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716503 Title: gnome-shell --wayland works only when --mode=initial-setup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1716503/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
