Bug Description

Just did a fresh install. First thing I did was installing nvidia drivers. Tried wayland session and got a black screen with the boot logo page. Tried the instructions here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1369250/how-do-i-enable-wayland-on-ubuntu-21-10-nvidia but didn't cut it. I am submitting this as a bug since it's a fresh install with the official drivers.

Another thing to notice is that using the recovery option on grub I was able to get a wayland session, but some apps would crash the session
and the nvidia GUI menu doesn't work (blank GUI) there but works
normally on X11.
