Fresh install on image of 09/10 updated, an nvidia hybrid laptop, nothing has changed. 1. 1st login from install uses xorg 2. All logins always say "ubuntu" 3. No matter what session is exited from #2 remains always true
So with above being true, at best a user does an install, logs in & is using xorg. They may or may not check the reported session by clicking on that little login screen icon. If they were expecting wayland then the impression would be 'it works pretty good' (wonder why? They may never change sessions from the login screen so will continue to use xorg. Or they may open the login options, see xorg & decide to see how that works compared to 'pseudo wayland' Again everything will work fine, may seem like not much difference between wayland & xorg (wonder why? Only when users happen to switch back & forth will they actually get wayland & for some, things that initially worked won't.. Now maybe? this only affects a certain subset of hardware but that will not be an insignificant number. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705157 Title: "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu on Xorg" randomly start the same session (maybe Wayland maybe Xorg) Status in gnome-session: Confirmed Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Test case: Do a fresh install of current image (july 19 here Boot up, check selected session at the greeter - it will say "ubuntu" Log in, ck. env., it will actually be ubuntu-wayland Ex. $ env | grep -i wayland DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu-wayland WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=ubuntu-wayland GDMSESSION=ubuntu-wayland Test 2: From above log out, switch session in greeter to wayland on ubuntu,, switch back to ubuntu, login.
