I installed Ubuntu 22.04 few weeks ago, and I didn't test Wayland that time. I never actually edit anything in the gdm3 configuration (only edited the wallpaper and appearance). Then I want to use Wayland to use Waydroid, but the session immediately crashed. I checked journalctl and found some errors related to Wayland Session

gnome-shell[2248]: Added device '/dev/dri/card0' (amdgpu) using atomic mode setting.
kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Correcting number of heads for current head configuration (0x00)

I think it's somehow related to my AMD GPU (or either NVIDIA GPU, because at the first line it shows "Added device 'dev/dri/card0' (amdgpu)), but when I try using X11 (Xorg) it was working fine. I also tried doing the solution from here, and it also didn't work Anyone can help?

Respect to Waydroid you can use it inside a Weston session according this thread, that way if Wayland fails or if you choose to going back to xorg still having a way to run it (the script needs a bit of work, I test the command manually).

Yes that works and I still use that fallback solution, but I also do want the default ubuntu (gnome) wayland to work. Can you help me with that?

I'm afraid not (personal preference of xorg) but hope others can and for that clarification its needed, I use integrated AMD with 22.04 myself and getting drivers to work was a long task, but you said that its working.

I suggest if you can add more to the question: what gpu? what installation process you follow? and what is "works" (eg. xorg load and login but wayland not )? or if you already fixed it let us know

The thing I meant "works" is the Weston session that you suggest me, and for the gpu I have integrated AMD GPU and discrete NVIDIA RTX 3050.@ltapia

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
