SUMMARY

The first time I booted after upgrading from 5.x to 6.x, I got presented with the login screen which includes a selector for the session where you can select either X11 or Wayland. I selected Wayland.

After that, when I boot it does NOT show the login screen (I think I had set it that way, and that's what I want anyway) but it starts with X11 instead of Wayland. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. log out
2. log in and choose Wayland
3. restart

OBSERVED RESULT
Restarts without login screen, and switches back to X11.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should remember my preference and start with Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If you are using sddm, please check your sddm config (/etc/sddm.conf and files in /etc/sddm.conf.d/). In particular, check for the config session [Autologin]. The wayland session is just called plasma.

Marking this as DOWNSTREAM as this is a local configuration issue.
