** Description changed:
+ Impact
+ ------
+ Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 no longer offers Wayland
+
+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ Install the update on a desktop or laptop without Nvidia or hybrid graphics
that normally supports Wayland.
+
+ Restart the computer.
+
+ On the login screen, select your name.
+
+ A gear button should appear in the bottom right giving you the option
+ for Ubuntu or Ubuntu on Xorg. Continue logging in to the Ubuntu session.
+
+ After log in, open the Settings app. Click at the bottom of the sidebar
+ to open the About panel. The Windowing system should say Wayland.
+
+ Note
+ ----
+ It is known that Wayland is not currently offered for Nvidia because the
Nvidia drivers don't meet GNOME's standards for suspend and resuming from
suspend. It is intended that that will be fixed in a stable release update for
22.04 LTS. Once that happens, Wayland should work without needing any change
from GDM. (Just a reboot.)
+
+ How this was broken and fixed
+ -----------------------------
+ I took gdm 42.0-1ubuntu3 and removed the one cherrypicked patch we no longer
needed. That required rebasing later patches. I made a mistake when rebasing.
+
+ To fix this, I returned to the known working 42.0-1ubuntu3, kept the
+ patch but added a new patch at the end to revert the patch we don't
+ need. This is a cleaner fix and will work better when we package the new
+ GDM release where we will probably still need the revert patch.

+
+ Original Bug Report
+ -------------------
+
After updating gdm3 from 42.0-1ubuntu2 to 42.0-1ubuntu4 in jammy, it no
longer shows any sessions in the bottom-right corner. When I log in, I
am dropped into an X11 session, with no way to switch to Wayland.
Downgrading the gdm3, gir1.2-gdm-1.0 and libgdm1 packages to
42.0-1ubuntu2 or 42.0-1ubuntu3 restores the option to select sessions
and defaults to Wayland again.
Looking at the changelog:
gdm3 (42.0-1ubuntu4) jammy; urgency=medium
- * Drop patch disabling Wayland on hybrid laptops using Nvidia's drivers.
- It's not needed for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (LP: #1968809)
+ * Drop patch disabling Wayland on hybrid laptops using Nvidia's drivers.
+ It's not needed for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (LP: #1968809)
