You are not logged in.
I have uncomment the next variables in /etc/environment:
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
GDK_BACKEND=wayland
CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland
But it fails because systemd? starts "/usr/lib/gdm-x-session" instead of "/usr/lib/gdm/gdm-wayland-session": http://pastebin.com/KXMCqcCF
Where I fail? Or is it a systemd fail?

This has nothing to do with systemd. Either you have GDM set to not use Wayland or their autodetection stuff is disabling it.

cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf
# GDM configuration storage
[daemon]
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
#WaylandEnable=false
...
If I comment that variables in /etc/environment, GDM/Gnome starts well with Wayland:
$ ps aux | grep --color --color=auto -e wayland

juan 8172 0.0 0.0 11368 2176 pts/1 S+ 19:48 0:00 grep --color --color --color=auto -e wayland
But it doesn't work when set:
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
GDK_BACKEND=wayland
Is it a wiki error: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wa … _libraries ?

I have this issue too. Commenting doesn't work. Is there a way to use Wayland?

Same problem here too. But only tried setting: GDK_BACKEND=wayland not the other variable.
After that, gnome wayland nor xorg could start.
Commented out that variable and I could work with wayland again.
