Bug Description

After the latest Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) updates (Suspected gdm3 42.0-1ubuntu4 arm64), it does not logon to Wayland session anymore.

On gmd3 logon greeter screen only "ubuntu" and "gnome" desktop are available. Before update it had "ubuntu", "ubuntu on Xorg", "gnome" and "gnome on xorg" option.

Selecting "ubuntu" or "gnome", the logon session is in X11 and NOT Wayland.

Previously before update, logon with "ubuntu" or "gnome" result in Wayland session.

Additional Info:
$ journalctl -b
