Enable wayland on garuda gnome

Issues & Assistance
1

so I would like to do as the title says, and I used garuda assistant to do so, but the cog to use wayland did not appear, so i went into 61-rules and accent the rules recommended in a post, but still no wayland option. I am on nvidia. what should I do?

It may be necessary to enable the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter to get it working on Nvidia.

sudo micro /etc/default/grub

On the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line, add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the other kernel parameters on the line. Save and exit, then:

sudo update-grub

I don't get anything like that

like even when I delete the nvidia bit it keeps saying that, that command is not found

9

I think there is no point in guessing around, post the input and output as text so we can see where the problem is.

what do you mean? when I type into the command line sudo update-grub it just says that, that nvidia command does not exist. I even deleted that command from the land, and it still says that

11

somehow the file got messed up and now it is saying command grub does not exist

nope. that added a bunch of lines to the grub file that when i do update grub it now says those commands do not exist, and the commands that now do not exist are just3 stuff that the command originally pumped out

You should understand that we are not psychics, we don't see what you see, just post the terminal in and outputs as text.
