Public bug reported: I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 and switched the login manager from sddm to gdm3. Unfortunately it doesn't list the -wayland sessions. The /usr/share/xsessions folder indeed only contains the -xorg -related sessions:
$ ls -la /usr/share/xsessions total 36 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 okt 18 16:00 . drwxr-xr-x 427 root root 20480 okt 18 15:56 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 201 okt 13 12:56 gnome-xorg.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2354 aug 23 16:39 plasma.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262 okt 13 12:56 ubuntu-xorg.desktop How can I enable the ubuntu-wayland session please?
