This is expected :(
>From what I read (have not tested myself), the Nvidia driver defaults to
disabling KMS support. This means Wayland (and hence GDM now) won't
work.
So there are three possible solutions I can think of:
* Enable Nvidia KMS support by adding nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to your
kernel command line. This should make Wayland (and hence GDM) work. It's
possibly not the default yet because performance is lower in this
mode(?); or
* Reinstall lightdm and configure it to re-replace gdm. Then make sure
you choose to log in to "Ubuntu" and not "Ubuntu on Wayland"; or
* Configure GDM to use Xorg instead (if that's even possible). Then
make sure you choose to log in to "Ubuntu" and not "Ubuntu on Wayland".
