[Bug 1632772] Re: Login option 'GNOME on Wayland' does not start from LightDM

[Jeremy Bicha]

The ubuntu-meta change was a workaround, not a fix, and it doesn't do us
any good for Ubuntu Stable Releases so I'm reopening this bug.

Bug description:
  When picking GNOME on Wayland as session and attempting to login from
  LightDM then it fails, all you see is a black screen with a blinking
  cursor.

  However, manually running:
  $ dbus-run-session gnome-shell --display-server --wayland
  from the console/vt1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) seems to work.
  But from LightDM it does not work.
