It worked! I switched my machine back to hybrid mode (so that both Intel and Nvidia cards are visible in lspci) and added the nouveau.modeset=0 kernel parameters. And now I am able to select the Ubuntu (wayland) option and indeed it works: XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland, and the About dialog shows "IntelĀ® HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2)" as the Graphics card.
Thanks! So the bug is indeed in gnome-shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724583 Title: gdm3 in Ubuntu 17.10 doesn't list wayland sessions when using hybrid graphics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1724583/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
