Re: Linux-zen + nvidia-dkms + gdm + gnome :How to enable gnome on wayland

Please use code tags instead of markdown, BBCode predates the use of markdown by a while.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#Wa … DIA_driver for the proper preconditions if you want to do this correctly, or the easy way to disable the checks GDM attempts do do and coerce it into cooperation regardless.

One preconditon you absolutely have to have is enable nvidia-drm.modeset=1 on the kernel parameters however, make sure that is the case.

You mean the one the wiki specifically tells you not to use?

Nope,I've already tried `nvidia-dkms` package

I think you had meant to use the reply link, not the report link.

This won't fix your problem. From "having read this wiki" post the exact conclusions and adjustments you made in response to having read it.

I switched back to the nvidia-dkms package, and then found a possible problem, when I started some software.
