Public bug reported: 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(?)
