Package: gdm3
Version: 3.24.2-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When I choose "Gnome on Xorg" as current session, after logging in,
"GNOME on Xorg" session always uses Xwayland instead of X.
I've noticed that we need to uncomment the following entry in
/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf in current situation.
[daemon]
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false
But it is just a workaround. It is not suitable configuration to switch other
session.
Are there any proper solution without above workaround?
