Wayland is not a program, so "Wayland" can't crash. Wayland is only a protocol for talking to apps that is supported by the Gnome Shell 'eglnative' backend inside the 'mutter' project. This issue is further confused by the incorrect wording "Ubuntu on Wayland" on the login screen. Actually it's not running "on Wayland" at all...
That all said, yes the eglnative backend in mutter, which provides Wayland app support, can crash for its own reasons. The greeter will default to eglnative ("Wayland") mode, so if you find disabling that works around the bug (switching to Xorg instead) then great. However this bug will stay incomplete until we have some sort of stack trace of a crash, ideally a .crash file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753576 Title: GDM freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1753576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
