[SOLVED] How to enable wayland on GNOME

Hello. I'm switching from KDE to GNOME. I successfully install it but I can't login into a Wayland session.
Into GDM select wheel, I can see "GNOME" and "GNOME CLASSIC".
If I choose GNOME, I get:

$ echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE"
x11

Here some info about my system:

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

So, I enabled DRM adding nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 into the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT of /etc/default/grub (I already had nvidia_drm.modeset=1) and the rebuilt grub with 

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Then, I added nvidia, nvidia_modeset, nvidia_uvm and nvidia_drm to intramfs into the MODULES() section of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and I regenerete initramfs with 

sudo mkinitcpio -P

I also tried this:

sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

But after all, I still get only X11

edit:
According to https://askubuntu.com/questions/1403854 … 99#1403999, I also tried:

 # echo "options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-power-management.conf

Re: [SOLVED] How to enable wayland on GNOME

gnoem also expects you to enable (I think, but it's one of the) the resume service [edit: this is btw. linked/explained in the arch wiki] and if you added the modprobe config after putting the nvidia modules into the initramfs (what's not required), you'll have to rebuild the initramfs in order to apply it.

If this all doesn't help, please post your complete system journal for the boot: 

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

Re: [SOLVED] How to enable wayland on GNOME

GDM starts on X11, wayland isn't even considered.
Did you maybe https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#Use_Xorg_backend ?

Edit: this is btw. a hybrid graphics system and you're running on the intel chip.
Edit #2: just to be absolutely sure

stat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
stat /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

though this should™ not even be required for the newer nvidia drivers.

Re: [SOLVED] How to enable wayland on GNOME

Writing where? The line is commented by default.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

I think I got confused trying to change it to WaylandEnable=true.

Thank you!
