How to start gnome wayland desktop from lightdm?
A bug report has been filed and is currently being worked on. There are a few workarounds but it isn't a perfect fix. I was able to login using Wayland with this fix but I was not able to use logout.

One solution is to remove Unity 8 desktop:
sudo apt remove unity8-desktop-session
sudo apt autoremove

I installed Gnome 3.24 (
gnome-shell
andgnome-desktop-environment
) on a previous Ubuntu 17.04 (Unity) installation.I can start gnome Wayland session from display manager
gdm3
, but not fromLightdm
. When trying to, I'm stuck on a non-interactive black screen with a blinking cursor.I know that I could stick to
gdm3
, but there at least two reasons why I won't:Lightdm
is somehow much faster on bootgdm3
is not showing properly on dual monitor, like lightdm does (connection window and panel follows cursor on external monitor.
How can I start a
gnome 3.24
Wayland
session with Lightdm as display manager ?
