The icon is not displayed in cases where the system can only determine one session type. So offering a menu with only one option would be pointless. If you think this is an error then please run:

  lspci -k > lspci.txt
  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

and attach the resulting text files here.

Sorry.
I check my conf file again, I found wayland has disabled by "/etc/gdm3/custom.conf".
After I edit "WaylandEnable" parameter in "/etc/gdm3/custom.conf", the icon showed up on gdm3.
