The only instance I managed to launch gnome on wayland is if I install ubuntu LTS 22.04, Nvidia Drivers 525.* and even then, for some reason it’ll only work if I create a dummy 99-xxxx.conf file again with:
Section "Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
On the hardware side of things, I’m running an asus Z690-Creator motherboard, with thunderbolt video output (which my monitor demands), RTX is connected to motherboard’s DP in port.
Is there a known issue with current drivers + wayland (+existing kernel?) and GDM?
The 525 and 530 drivers have a buG for newer GPU’s that causes Plasma Wayland at least to crash the system upon relogging in if your monitor is SET above 60hz. It MAY only affect multi monitor setups I dunno.
You can verify this by generating a new user account, and it should default that to 60hz, you can switch up higher hz in that session only, next time you try and log in with said account it will black-screen-lock-system…
NV has not really said much about it, or if they intend to fix it. Pretty big bug really.
I have the same issue as poster. Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop with 545 Nvidia drivers (and CUDA).
Blank screen when GDM starts but only with the Apple Studio Display connected to my RTX 4090’s DisplayPort. When I try the same configuration with an old LG 1080p display connected to HDMI port I get the login prompt and Gnome seems to run fine.
I tried lightDM and made it to the graphical login prompt with the Studio Display but got a black screen once I’ve entered my credentials.
