I just reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1969250 which was marked as duplicate of this bug (which it is), but do check that bug for a bit more analysis on where the bug is. TL;DR: there are nvidia- specific checks in 61-gdm.rules that are no longer guarded by a check for nvidia hardware in the rules file (because the patch reversal in 42.0-1ubuntu4 removed that check).
As a workaround, you can edit /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules and comment out or remove these lines: ## Check if suspend/resume services necessary for working wayland support is available TEST{0711}!="/usr/bin/nvidia-sleep.sh", GOTO="gdm_disable_wayland" TEST{0711}!="/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/nvidia", GOTO="gdm_disable_wayland" IMPORT{program}="/bin/sh -c \"sed -e 's/: /=/g' -e 's/\([^[:upper:]]\)\([[:upper:]]\)/\1_\2/g' -e 's/[[:lower:]]/\U&/g' -e 's/^/NVIDIA_/' /proc/driver/nvidia/params\"" ENV{NVIDIA_PRESERVE_VIDEO_MEMORY_ALLOCATIONS}!="1", GOTO="gdm_disable_wayland" IMPORT{program}="/bin/sh -c 'echo NVIDIA_HIBERNATE=`systemctl is-enabled nvidia-hibernate`'" ENV{NVIDIA_HIBERNATE}!="enabled", GOTO="gdm_disable_wayland" IMPORT{program}="/bin/sh -c 'echo NVIDIA_RESUME=`systemctl is-enabled nvidia-resume`'" ENV{NVIDIA_RESUME}!="enabled", GOTO="gdm_disable_wayland" IMPORT{program}="/bin/sh -c 'echo NVIDIA_SUSPEND=`systemctl is-enabled nvidia-suspend`'" ENV{NVIDIA_SUSPEND}!="enabled", GOTO="gdm_disable_wayland" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969243 Title: gdm 42.0-1ubuntu4 no longer shows Wayland option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1969243/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
