Please try editing /usr/lib/systemd/user/org.gnome.Shell@x11.service and comment out:
# ExecCondition=/bin/sh -c 'test "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "%I" || exit 2' If that doesn't fix it then it would seem the issue is that Xorg hasn't been set up for us before we try to start gnome-shell on it. -- 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/2006059 Title: systemd refuses to start secondary Xorg logins [org.gnome.Shell@x11.service: Skipped due to 'exec-condition'.] Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have three accounts and I need all three to run on xorg instead of wayland. For some reason, when switching accounts, two of them consistently start wayland even when I select plain gnome from the gdm menu. To get xorg, I need to log out and log in a second time. A solution that is supposed to work consists in customizing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf (see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en- US/quick-docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/). This solution does not work. I have also experimented with the following options: DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop and PreferredDisplayServer=xorg Neither appears to set xorg as the default... I have found the following bug reported upstream against gdm: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/733. It looks like this was fixed a year ago but my system is still affected. Note that I am using the gnome-session package. I doubt whether it makes any difference but I am adding it for the sake of completeness.
