Enabling Wayland support with the NVIDIA proprietary driver This is not something we recommend due to a number of bugs. But if you want to try it out then a new step is required in 19.10:
1. Add kernel parameter nvidia-drm.modeset=1 2. Comment out the nvidia line in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules 3. As step 2 may have reintroduced an old bug you might need to disable the integrated graphics/GPU in your BIOS. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseNotes#Desktop ** Tags added: focal groovy ** Tags added: nvidia nvidia-drm.modeset ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887652 Title: wayland not available with proprietary nvidia drivers Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With Ubuntu 20.04, GDM 3.34.1 (bundled with Focal), and the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, I am unable to use Wayland to login, and can only use XOrg. Debugging this a little, I found that wayland support is wholesale disabled when proprietary NVIDIA drivers are used by this rule: /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules (coming from the gdm3 package), however it seems there may be more to this as well in upstream so this seems to affect mutter as well. To be clear, my system only has NVIDIA graphics, I do not also have an Intel integrated GPU, so this is not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1862531.
