Bug Description

Per the release notes, Wayland is now the default display server in Ubuntu 17.10. Exciting.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/ReleaseNotes

I don't appear to be running Wayland. Boring.

todd@todd-ab28d3:~$ loginctl
   SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY
        c2 121 gdm seat0 /dev/tty1
         3 1000 todd seat0 /dev/tty2

2 sessions listed.
todd@todd-ab28d3:~$ loginctl show-session 3 -p Type
Type=x11

This is a clean install with no proprietary graphics drivers.

todd@todd-ab28d3:~$ lspci | grep -i amd
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Fiji [Radeon R9 FURY / NANO Series] (rev ca)
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Fiji HDMI/DP Audio [Radeon R9 Nano / FURY/FURY X]

I've attached the full journalctl log in case there's anything useful in there. No wayland hits anyway.
