Description of problem: Can't log in to gnome on wayland session Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutter 3.22.1-4.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: After dnf update upgrading mutter to version 3.22.1-4.fc25.x86_64. Steps to Reproduce: 1. After reboot Login to default gnome session. 2. It logs in but I'm suspecting it is not the gnome on wayland session as a couple of legacy apps I run don't work on Wayland session and now appear to be working. When I enter echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE x11 3. Log out of gnome. 4. Try to login to the default Gnome session and it drops back to the login screen. 5. Login to Gnome on x11 works ok. Additional info: I can't back out 3.22.1-4.fc25.x86_64 to 3.22.1-3.fc25.x86_64 to prove the the mutter update caused the problem as it says that the package is not available
My attempt to back out the mutter update was via dnf history undo which couldn't find 3.22.1-3.fc25.x86_64 but just doing dnf downgrade mutter reverted back to 3.22.1-2.fc25.x86_64. This has resolved the problem described above: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE wayland
Do you have two GPUs? See bug 1375247 why the behavior you are seeing might be intended in that case ...
The machine is a Dell Latitude E6540 with hybrid graphics. It has Intel and AMD. It seems to work ok with an external monitor with mutter 3.22.1-2.fc25.x86_64
Maybe suggest that the GDM menu should indicate that the default gnome session isn't available or else make it still work for an x11 login after logging out. It only seems to work the very first time after boot. It's a bit of a nuisance as I was in the middle of trying to diagnose a problem with Libreoffice Impress running on gnome wayland session with an external monitor plugged in. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1386948
