Public bug reported:

After installing 22.10 beta, the gdm3 does not start properly. This
happens only if in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf :

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false
(...)

The line with WaylandEnable is commented out or set explicitly to 
WaylandEnable=true. 
Then the system boots into the state when the screen is black, there is 
underscore "_" present in top left corner, one can ssh into the system, but 
keyboard input is ignored.  With WaylandEnable=false the system is fully 
functional. Before the update, with WaylandEnable=true the have been no such 
problems.

I will attach any logs upon request. Below those that I thought of on
myself:

Description:    Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu (development branch)
Release:        22.10

gdm3:
  Installed: 42.0-1ubuntu7
  Candidate: 42.0-1ubuntu7
  Version table:
 *** 42.0-1ubuntu7 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu kinetic/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Note that the system logs have been created as follows:
1) I booted the machine with WaylandEnable=true,
2) I sshd into the machine, changed WaylandEnable to false, and restart gdm3
so the last few entries will likely describe the proper "x11" launch of the 
gdm3.


cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i gdm3
is attached as gdm.log
