I sadly do not have the choice of starting a Gnome with Wayland session when logging in (no gear icon showing).
Using a Thinkpad with integrated Intel GPU, WaylandEnable option in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf is commented.
No idea what to do, maybe someone can help?
TY
I ran into a problem this week, where I couldn't find a solution to.
Everytime I start Ubuntu, it boots nominally, until it reaches "starting Gnome Display Manager" where the Konsole gets stuck and the screen is going black every few seconds.
I also cannot access any tty by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1, F2
I found an older question, where they solved the problem by reinstalling a new Nvidia Graphics driver.
I can't try that, because I can't access a shell, and my Ubuntu runs fully on Intel Graphics. (Lenovo Ultrabook)
Can I still use my Ubuntu, or do I have to wipe the partition?
I have hard a hard time finding good information on the performance difference between display managers on Ubuntu (specifically between lightdm and gdm3).
With Ubuntu switching to Gnome, I would assume that it would also be recommended to switch to gdm3 instead of lightdm but I can't find any information one way or the other.
So:
lightdm still be developed?lightdm faster than gdm3? (Answers like this say lightdm is "lightweight and fast" but do not say whether or not gdm3 is slow....)
Is it possible to disable X at boot time? I'm setting up a server so it would be nice if it wouldn't load the graphical interface every time I boot.
When I log in Ubuntu, I would like all windows opened at previous session (terminal and Firefox mainly) to be re-opened automatically at the same size and position.
How to proceed?
