Public bug reported:
Since the following commit, Wayland is not available (the gears button on the
login screen does not show at all):
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/commit/data/61-gdm.rules.in?h=applied/ubuntu/jammy&id=54712c1fdc52345749802a0c1d3647458b9c9bef
Commenting out the lines in /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules that are
added by this commit resolves the problem.
The commit introduces a check for presence of some Nvidia utilities that
are required for suspend/resume under Wayland. However my machine does
not have an Nvidia GPU, so it is obviously missing those utilities, and
Wayland is disabled erroneously.
Upstream has an additional guard to skip these checks (and as such
keeping Wayland enabled) on non-Nvidia hardware, see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/blob/main/data/61-gdm.rules.in#L50
It seems like these guards were accidentally omitted in the Ubuntu
cherry-pick.
To make matters worse, this missing guard causes "/usr/libexec/gdm-
runtime-config set daemon WaylandEnable false" to be executed on EVERY
udev event.
Probably related to bug 1968809 and bug 1968929.
