I don't think the fix that was released for Oracular here is reliable.
The reliable fix is only in Mutter 48 (Ubuntu 25.04).
** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu)
Milestone: ubuntu-24.10 => ubuntu-25.04

Bug description:
I recently did a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 using a daily-build
image from https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/noble/daily-live/20240815/noble-
desktop-amd64.iso , after installation the ubuntu/gnome session
defaults to x11 and in gdm the gear icon doesn't appear.
AFAIK, Ubuntu should default to a Wayland session after Ubuntu 21.04,
but this is not the case in my use-case.
I tried changing the file `/etc/gdm3/custom.conf` ,by changing
`WaylandEnable=false` to `WaylandEnable=true` but that didn't change
anything.
When , logging in the gear icon tries to appear but then disappears
possibly indicating a crash(?)
