To me it looks like Wayland is a big pile of crap. I don't understand why anyone would want to make it the default.

gparted does not work anymore, either, and according to this answer ( askubuntu.com/questions/961967/… ) Wayland is to blame. I found this page looking for a solution, as a system on which I can't modify partitions is pretty f'ing useless.

When you boot your system and get to the GDM login screen you should find a cogwheel (⚙ï¸Â) next to the sign in button. If you click on the cogwheel you should find an Ubuntu on Xorg option which will start an Xorg session instead of a Wayland session.

If you wish to do it permanently, edit
/etc/gdm3/custom.conf
and uncomment the line
#WaylandEnable=false by removing the # in front.
Save the file and then on reboot you will never see the cog asking for which session to use.

--add /usr/share/wayland-sessions/ubuntu.desktop
What this does is to instruct the package manager to remember a new location for the file. This has several advantages over the other answers:
- It guarantees a future package install/upgrade won't revert your change
- It works with other display managers (lxdm for example lists
.backupentries) You can revert it easily if you change your mind with:
sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/share/wayland-sessions/ubuntu.desktop

To me it looks like Wayland is a big pile of crap. I don't understand why anyone would want to make it the default.

gparted does not work anymore, either, and according to this answer ( askubuntu.com/questions/961967/… ) Wayland is to blame. I found this page looking for a solution, as a system on which I can't modify partitions is pretty f'ing useless.
