No wayland option despite fresh gnome install (Debian 12, testing, nvidia)
No wayland option despite fresh gnome install (Debian 12, testing, nvidia)
This is something I have been stuck on for a while.
I want to use Wayland for that variable refresh rate and some better handeling of screen recordings.
I have tried time and time again to get a wayland session running with the proprietary nvidia driver, but have not gotten there yet.
Only the X11 options are listed on the login screen. When using the fallback FOSS nvidia driver however, all the correct X11 and Wayland options show up (Including Gnome and KDE, both in X11 and Wayland).
Wasn't this fixed, like, about a year ago? I have the "latest" proprietary nvidia driver, but the current debain one is still pretty old (535.183.06).
output from `nvidia-smi`

I had the same problem - see this thread for solution (you have to scoll down to the middle)

in short, delete or rename this file: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
You can do that but Nvidia probably won't be stable on your system.
Debian is also not the right choice for having a modern system...
Unfortunately that did not fix it for me. I have now renamed the file to [...].backup but it still only displays X11 options.
RIP đ
if you rename a file in a *.d/ directory, it will still be processed (but maybe at a different time). the name of files in those dirs is just for sorting!
why u delete your comment?
I was wrong. I suspected the file still being in the dir makes it still get used, no matter what name, but the udev man page says only files ending in .rules get used. i understand, you renamed the file ending. you did right?
yup, renamed it to [...].rules.backup. Thanks for responding though!
