No, not directly, but kind of :) The option to start a Wayland session is enabled by adding:
nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to your kernel command line. Secondly, mutter's Wayland backend needs to be found to WORK with it. If it doesn't work (this bug), then mutter will hide the Wayland option before you ever see the login screen. So you should: 1. Add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to your kernel command line; and 2. Either wait for this bug to be fixed in 18.04 or just use a later Ubuntu release which doesn't have this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805444 Title: [nvidia] Fail to launch gnome-shell (Wayland) on Ubuntu with EGLDevice backend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1805444/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
