Jeremy, it's not related. Also, this is how it supposed to work. If gdm thinks it cannot start wayland session, it wont display Wayland option.
Why does gdm thinks Wayland session is not available you ask? Because I presume you have modesetting disabled, because installation or update for nvidia driver overwrites: /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf -> /etc/alternatives/x86_64 -linux-gnu_nvidia_modconf and puts by default: options nvidia_381_drm modeset=0 which will prevent wayland from working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672033 Title: Xorg does not detect displays in rootless mode on nvidia proprietary drivers (GNOME) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/1672033/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
