[Solved] Wayland / X11 boot problem
Hi,
I am pretty new to Arch and I have ran into a problem which I haven't been able to find any information about. When I shutdown my machine and press the power button to boot is back up my machine defaults to using X11 but when I reboot my machine it uses Wayland.
Clean shutdown + power on:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
X11
Reboot:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland
I was thinking about disabling X on boot but I wasn't sure if this would cause any further problems, has any one experienced something like this before?
(Changing the session using the gear symbol on login doesn't make a difference)
Thanks,

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940MX] (rev a2)Wayland and optimus... no idea why it would differ between a cold and a warm boot, but afaik you've to avoid the 3D controller and notably not be loading the nvidia module.

I tested it at command line and nothing messed up, so I added it to the grub config file and checked the command line again to make sure the parameters where being added correctly. Howerver, it seems like it hasn't made a difference it still acts differently on a warm reboot.

Thanks for your help Seth I took a look at the journal logs and found a problem that is related to Dell machines which I then googled and found a solution. I added pci=noaer to my kernel parameters and it seems to have fixed the issue for now.

Re: [Solved] Wayland / X11 boot problem
You're aware that this only suppresses error reporting? Seems a timing related issue (explaining the cold ./. warm boot)
Some device doesn't come up fast enough or so.
You might want to compare dmesg of a cold and warm boot (w/o the flag) to figure which device that is and look out for an actual fix. Otherwise this might still occasionally hit you.
