Bug Description
Since the following commit, Wayland is not available (the gears button on the login screen does not show at all):
https:/
Commenting out the lines in /lib/udev/
The commit introduces a check for presence of some Nvidia utilities that are required for suspend/resume under Wayland. However my machine does not have an Nvidia GPU, so it is obviously missing those utilities, and Wayland is disabled erroneously.
Upstream has an additional guard to skip these checks (and as such keeping Wayland enabled) on non-Nvidia hardware, see https:/
It seems like these guards were accidentally omitted in the Ubuntu cherry-pick.
To make matters worse, this missing guard causes "/usr/libexec/
Probably related to bug 1968809 and bug 1968929.
