apport information
** Description changed:
Whenever I set Wayland to false in Gnome Display Manager's custom.conf
file and then reboot, I still see the same scrambled graphics on the
machine as if it were using Wayland. Rebooting the machine a SECOND time
resolves the issue. However, I should not have to reboot twice for the
new setting to take effect.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. When the machine boots up with scrambled graphics, press Control+Alt+F3
2. Log into the machine using the tty session and run "sudo editor
/etc/gdm3/custom.conf
3. Set Wayland to false and reboot
4. Notice after reboot the same scrambled graphics appear until the user
reboots again
Expected Results:
Gnome Display Manager runs xorg and xorg shows the correct graphics for the
machine.
Actual Results:
Graphics are scrambled and settings do not appear to take effect until next
reboot.
