[SOLVED] Gnome fails to load on Wayland

Hi!
I was trying to make Gnome work with Wayland on Nvidia with propriatory drivers. After trying everything here: link, I retreated to nouveau drivers, so I ran

pacman -Rns nvidia

and then

pacman -S mesa

Purging all configs, modules, kernel parameters I did for nvidia, I found that in the GDM I can finally see Gnome option which is for Wayland.
Unfortunately, it just freezes down and I can't move a cursor. Xorg works without a problem, and if I login as the root instead a regular user, it works as well!
Here's a log from running

journalctl -u gdm

11: Starting GNOME Display Manager...
[1]: Started GNOME Display Manager.
sword][918]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daenon control file
Sword 1[9181: gkr-pam: stashed password to try later in open session

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome fails to load on Wayland

journalctl -u gdm

Please don't apply random filters.
Enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting and in doubt please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Thank you for your notice!
Yes, I tried to enable DRM, but unfortunately, it's still the same.
I get an error from this command

journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

The error:

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 0x0.st

You've no internet?
Either use eg. (I guess) nmcli to establish a wireless connection or use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tethering

sudo journalctl -b > /tmp/journal.txt

and usb-walk that file to a system w/ network connection to upload it.

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome fails to load on Wayland

Unfortunately I couldn't resolve the issue by recommended steps in the WiKi, so I simply purged and reinstalled Arch Linux with Nouveau drivers.
I'm not sure what the issue was exactly connected with when was using proprietary drivers, but I guess I messed somewhere when I was removing the nvidia package and
when I was purging all changes I made to the system when I was cleaning up after Wayland and the proprietary NVIDIA driver
Thank you for help!
