RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

No it is on my laptop (T470s) with 

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 [8086:5916] (rev 02)

rpm -qa: http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/604650
udevadm info --export-db > out : http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/604652
Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2018-06-18 13:51:04 UTC 
can you put Enable=true in the [debug] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf, reboot, reproduce, and then attach /var/log/messages ?

I can for sure attach messages with enabled debugging but there is in fact nothing to reproduce the GNOME on Wayland option is not there.
Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2018-06-21 13:28:05 UTC 
so the problem is we mucked up a change in the gnome-session spec file during the rebase:

-mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/xsessions/gnome-xorg.desktop \
-   $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/wayland-sessions/gnome-wayland.desktop
-sed -i -e 's/Xorg/Wayland/g' $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/wayland-sessions/gnome-wayland.desktop

Just need to add that back I suppose.
