- Animats 3y agoNote that page was last updated in 2022, and one of the pages it references was last updated in 2019. I went round and round with this on the Ubuntu bug report system. On many machines, you can't run Wayland even if you want to. Oh, the excuses: "you should patch this shell script to let you run Wayland". Wayland just doesn't work with modern NVidia cards. I just tried on a machine with an NVidia 3070. Current Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, updated. The installed NVidia driver is the "recommended driver", NVidia-driver-535 (proprietary, tested.) The system will run in Wayland mode, but the 3D graphics hardware isn't used. "glxgears" reports that it is using Mesa 23.0.4. Programs that use Vulkan won't even start. Back to X.
- Animats 3y agoFound workaround: install libnvidia-egl-wayland1, and reboot.[1] "I wonder why that library is not installed by default with the NVIDIA driver..." That's so Linux. [1] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2490293 https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2490293
