[SOLVED] Gnome 3.16 broke GDM transition

Ever since I updated to GNOME 3.16 (which is great by the way) the transition from the GDM to the Shell has been broken. After the GDM fades away there screen gets filled with random colours. This lasts a few seconds, until the Shell is loaded. This did not use to happen on 3.14.

Is there any way to fix this bug? Does anyone have this issue?

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome 3.16 broke GDM transition

GDM uses Wayland by default now.

There's a way to switch it back to use Xorg, someone has posted it already so do a search.

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome 3.16 broke GDM transition

Well I did have a search before posting, both on DuckDuckGo and this forum itself. I can't seem to find it though.

Anyway, I'm happy knowing what's causing it. When I run GNOME on Wayland the transition is fixed. Once GNOME on Wayland becomes usable I'll make the switch.

Thanks!
