It appears the backport has already been done upstream. Both the missing commits are already in the gnome-3-28 branch of mutter, scheduled for inclusion in mutter version 3.28.4 (whenever that may be).
I have also verified that mutter version 3.28.3 fails, and the gnome-3-28 branch (721de281) works (with Nvidia driver 410). This all means we should now wait for an official tag 3.28.4 from upstream and get that into bionic eventually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805444 Title: [nvidia] Fail to launch gnome-shell (Wayland) on Ubuntu with EGLDevice backend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1805444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
