Just updated to 22.04 and read that it now supports wayland for nvidia card with nvidia 510 driver. I've got nvidia 2080 super and I can not see the cog in the right bottom corner on the login screen. Changing WaylandEnabled to true in config file doesn't work as well. Am I missing something?

Did you remove the # (comment indicator) on the config line and reboot as well? – ubfan1 Apr 21 '22 at 21:14

In login screen, tried clicking on the user icon first(so it asks for the password), Then on the right bottom seeing the cog wheel ? – Aravinth Apr 21 '22 at 21:15

For now, no Wayland with Nvidia. The Nvidia drivers are not up to the task yet. – heynnema Apr 21 '22 at 22:08

Also nvidia users should be put on Wayland, but it depends perhaps on the type of card. The site is currently flooded with nvidia users having graphical issues. I recommend staying on Xorg for the time being. – vanadium Apr 22 '22 at 06:51

@heynnema Thanks for the tip. I thought it's solved in nvidia 510. – s0nicYouth Apr 22 '22 at 10:06

sudo open /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
LABEL="gdm_prefer_xorg"
#RUN+="/usr/lib/gdm-runtime-config set daemon PreferredDisplayServer xorg"
GOTO="gdm_end"
LABEL="gdm_disable_wayland"
#RUN+="/usr/lib/gdm-runtime-config set daemon WaylandEnable false"
GOTO="gdm_end"
Add # to the two lines like what is shown above (scroll all the way down, both are at the bottom. Save and reboot; original solution can be found here by Pablo Bianchi
tested and works on 22.04 too. If encounter any problems simply un # the two lines.

Wayland was not used. X11 is still used. I think it is because of https://www.phoronix.com/news/Ubuntu-22.04-NVIDIA-XOrg-Back – Sun Bear Sep 02 '22 at 10:15
