Solving Wayland and NVidia conflict on Ubuntu 21.04
![]() |
Finally Wayland is activated |
Have you jumped on Ubuntu 21.04 wagon to test out the Wayland and Flutter optimization but Ubuntu refuses to log you in Wayland?
Most probably you have a NVidia graphic card installed and Ubuntu automatically deactivates Wayland. In my case, NVidia graphic card was pre-built in, but I actually never use it. So it pains to see NVidia stands in the way of experiencing Wayland.
What I did was, I ran the NVidia settings (automatically installed on Ubuntu) and selected the option to use only the built-in Intel graphic card.
And restart the laptop/PC.
And welcome to the world of Wayland (see the picture above). No need of further configuration or changing many things in many place like I found in a tutorial. So it was simpler than I expected.
That's all.
