(Get the code!)
I want to add: I faced a similar issue. Though updating to the 550 drivers through apt seemingly fixed the issue, there was actually more issues at play.
First and foremost, on the Wayland session, running "glxinfo | egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer" returns:
"OpenGL vendor string: Mesa
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 17.0.6, 256 bits)"
Upon some further research, I learned that the renderer being "llvmpipe" means that the nvidia driver isn't properly working. I'll note, also, that I could only install the driver using apt, as the ubuntu-drivers utility didn't show any drivers newer than 535. I can't tell if the driver installation broke, but nvidia-smi does return the expected output. And on XOrg, glxinfo mentions the nvidia drivers and my graphics card (RTX 4080).
I don't know if this implies that the nvidia drivers are currently bugged on wayland.
Again, I had a similar issue as OP upon a fresh install. All the gnome apps crashed (settings, the first-installation greeter) and going through the errors, it listed a segmentation fault (I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce it now).
