My first attempt at reproducing this bug has failed.

I am using an Nvidia Quadro K620 card in a desktop where I usually just use the integrated Intel graphics. And I have installed nvidia-375 375.66-0ubuntu1. The result is that Ubuntu 17.10 boots perfectly. VTs are using efifb. GDM and gnome-shell both start using Xorg automatically and the Wayland options have been hidden.

Perhaps I would need to test a newer card that's more difficult for software support? Or perhaps something got fixed?

@amri could you please remove 'nomodeset', enable integrated graphics in your BIOS, reboot and see if the problem persists?
