jo-erlendI just upgraded from 21.10 to 22.04 Beta. I now have X11 by default and there's no way to change it to Wayland on the login screen. Is this a known bug and does anyone know how I can change it? 02:52
Bashing-om!info nvidia-34003:00
ubottunvidia-340 (340.108-0ubuntu8, jammy): Transitional package for xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. In component restricted, is optional. Built by nvidia-graphics-drivers-340. Size 7 kB / 21 kB. (Only available for i386, amd64, armhf.)03:00
Bashing-omenigma9o7[m]: ^ Looks like nouveau is what is availabale vice the proprietary 340 driver that Nvidia has droped support: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142/~/support-timeframes-for-unix-legacy-gpu-releases .03:04
guivercjo-erlend, I'm not aware of any bug or issue taht would make xorg default (except where your hardware is detected as being unable to smoothly run wayland I think the only case where xorg default occurs)03:05
jo-erlendguiverc, well, I've been using Wayland on 21.10 with no issues on my AMD Kaveri. But the problem isn't just that X11 is default, but that there is no menu on the login screen for me to change it. 03:09
enigma9o7[m]its tricky, you gotta click it03:09
enigma9o7[m]after username, before password03:09
enigma9o7[m]they hide it03:09
enigma9o7[m]well i mean they dont really hide it but its not obvious03:09
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], there is no button to click. 03:10
Bashing-omenigma9o7[m]: You "might" be able to pick up the Nvidia 340 driver from our PPA: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa . Not stated that jammy is supported; but appears there is a later version driver built than that of focal. 03:13
jo-erlendFor now, I would be happy to know how to change sessions manually. 03:13
enigma9o7[m]Bashing-om: So that's great I can continue to use the prop driver.  But how does that affect wayland?03:15
enigma9o7[m]Since the 340 driver not being updated, even if still being patched to work, I assume that wont help wayland.....03:16
enigma9o7[m]So does that mean it's better to use noveau anyway?03:16
enigma9o7[m]Basically, is noveau's wayland support as good as prop's x11 support?03:16
enigma9o7[m]<jo-erlend> "enigma9o7, there is no button to..." <- There is.  You're using gdm right?03:17
enigma9o7[m]Its down the bottom right corner.03:17
enigma9o7[m]Its tricky to find.03:17
enigma9o7[m]it just looks like a random ubuntu logo03:17
Bashing-omenigma9o7[m]: I actually do not know - is only recently that Nvidia got on the Wayland band wagon.03:17
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], I'm telling you that the problem is that there is no button. I know very well where it is supposed to be. It isn't there. 03:17
enigma9o7[m]well assuming gnome, you have gdm.   Itst here for me.  Lmeee use VM to screenshot it.03:18
enigma9o7[m]will takea min03:18
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], you don't have to. I'm not new at this. I know very well what you mean. It isn't there. 03:18
enigma9o7[m]after you enter you rusername03:18
enigma9o7[m]before password03:19
enigma9o7[m]Its really there.03:19
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], please stop. I am telling you that it isn't there. I know very well that it is supposed to be there, 03:20

enigma9o7[m]try imgur03:41
lotuspsychjeyelp is back in biz! after the webkit/mesa bug fixed03:44
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], if you don't want to know, then that is fine. The picture clearly proves that you are wrong about the button being on my screen03:44
enigma9o7[m]Ummmmm jo, that picture is not viewable.  Its in some kinda google blocked thing.  I even showed you the screenshot.03:45
enigma9o7[m]If you're suggesting I should click the request acces blah blah and provide you with my name and stuff, well no.03:45
enigma9o7[m]As to why I suggested try imgur.03:46
enigma9o7[m]Was because you can post it publically without requiring request access BS.03:46
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], sorry. Try it again. I had set the wrong access. 03:47
enigma9o7[m]Damnit I wish I still had gdm installed on something to try.  Is it that thing on the right?  I feel liek it was bottom right.   Anyway the easy solution is just `sudo apt install sddm` thats what I did when I couldnt figure out how to scroll down in gdm (in that screenshot i shared earlier)03:49
enigma9o7[m]you'll get some popup about only allowed one login manager; tell it sddm03:49
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], it was bottom right until I upgraded. 03:49
enigma9o7[m]Ah ok so a new bug in gdm.03:50
jo-erlendI obviously checked to see if it had been moved to the menu in the upper right, but it's not there either. 03:50
enigma9o7[m]I tried thier IRC channela  month ago about a bug and nobody responded for the week I waited.03:50
enigma9o7[m]I think there were like 2 other messages the whole week.03:50
enigma9o7[m](I exaturate)03:50
enigma9o7[m]You may be tempted to try lightdm; don't if you want wayland.03:51

jo-erlendActually, I'm not sure that is the right bug report. 03:56
enigma9o7[m]in any case if yer just trying to workaround, try sddm.03:57

enigma9o7[m]its the default login manager for plasma, but mainly its the other one that supports wayland besides gdm04:07
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], thanks for the advise. 04:08
jo-erlendbrb04:08
jo-erlendenigma9o7[m], That worked as a workaround. I hope they fix it in gdm in time for release though, because that felt like a rather extreme regression. 04:14
enigma9o7[m]well yeah04:24
jo-erlendIt was fun to upgrade again though. I don't think I've done that since 14.04LTS :)05:23

blb289959maybe i ask that in #linux08:39
jo-erlendblb289959, you could bind mount the underlying filesystem somewhere else, so its folder isn't overmounted, I think. 08:42
jo-erlendblb289959, so if you've mounted your tmpfs on /etc, for instance, then mount --bind / /mnt, then access /mnt/etc for the original etc. Weird example I used. :) 08:45
blb289959does pulseaudio-module-bluetooth really needs gstreamer now? Why this dep is added?09:26

webchat62I'm new here, and not positive how to do this! I'd like to report a bug in Ubuntu 22.04 on Wayland. `xprop -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW` doesn't provide the expected info. It gives good info for Chromium, Firefox, Opera, but nothing for Terminal, Calculator, LibreOffice Writer, System Monitor. Seems like web browsers work and other apps don't.13:06

webchat62Thanks!14:05
jo-erlendSo it seems that the issue I talked about, where the menu button to select sessions in gdm might be hidden because it would only show X11 as the only choice and gdm hides the button when there are no choices. Can anyone confirm that hypothesis? 14:08
jo-erlendsorry. That sentence was an amalgam of two thoughts, but I hope you understood. :) 14:09
howarthHmm15:28
howarthlooks like Wayland on Nvidia may be dropped for the 22.04 LTS15:28

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1969243 in gdm3 (Ubuntu Jammy) "gdm 42.0-1ubuntu4 no longer shows Wayland option" [Critical, In Progress]15:29
howarthNote15:29
howarth----15:29
howarthIt is known that Wayland is not currently offered for Nvidia because the Nvidia drivers don't meet GNOME's standards for suspend and resuming from suspend. It is intended that that will be fixed in a stable release update for 22.04 LTS. Once that happens, Wayland should work without needing any change from GDM. (Just a reboot.). This issue is currently being tracked with LP: #196892915:29
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1968929 in gdm3 (Ubuntu) "No Wayland support on my NVIDA laptop" [Medium, Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/196892915:29
howarthSo Fedora 36 will ship with Wayland on Nvidia and not Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.15:30
oerheksbut there is a egl-wayland  package?15:31
oerhekshttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/egl-wayland15:31
howarthThe current plans seems to be to default gdm to not offer Wayland until a newer Nvidia driver release 15:35
howarthI'd hate to be in their PR department this week15:36
howarthRather mind boggling that it isn't even mentioned on the ubuntu-devel or ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing lists15:44
Eickmeyerhowarth: It's being worked on, and a new gdm3 was just uploaded and is awaiting release team approval. The people that are in charge of fixing it are fully aware. Stop coming in here to complain and vent, this isn't the place for it.15:55
howarthThat note seemed pretty clear15:58
howarthThe intention seems to be to postpone Wayland on Nvidia until upstream fixes their drivers15:59
howarthSo 22.04 LTS will now shipped with the Nvidia drivers stuck on X11 until a future update15:59
Eickmeyerhowarth: Again, not the place to complain/vent about it.15:59
EickmeyerTake it to #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic.16:00
howarthHardly off topic16:01
EickmeyerDo you need help fixing it?16:01
howarthjust days away from release, it is a really ballsy move16:01
howarthThere is no fix16:01
EickmeyerThen it's off-topic.16:01
howartha hack, yes16:01
howarthSays someone obviously not on Nvidia cards16:02
Eickmeyerhowarth: Jeremy Bicha, who is working on it, works for Canonical and is on the desktop team. The bug is marked as "Critical" meaning the priority is highest and is one that should not be ignored before release.16:03
Eickmeyerhowarth: I'm on Nvidia.16:04
howarthI'd go back to nouveau if I had any faith that it had frequency scaling but the feature set of that driver is extremely opaque16:05
howarthLots of vague talk of them adding that around 5-7 years ago but not clear updates on progress16:05
