  According to Teamviewer’s community blog, Teamviewer has added support to Wayland recently. Due to security reasons, whenever we want to remote our computer or share our screen with someone, we have to permit TeamViewer manually. In my opinion, it is pretty annoying. To disable Wayland and switch back to Xorg on Ubuntu 22.04, just type


sudo sed -i 's/#WaylandEnable=false/WaylandEnable=false/' /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Another way is to modify the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf by


sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

and then change


#WaylandEnable=false

to


WaylandEnable=false

Press Ctrl + X to save the file.

Restart your computer to take effect.


sudo reboot

If you do not want to restart your computer, restart GDM3 to take effect.


sudo systemctl restart gdm3
