gnome: No options to log into classic session

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

At my FC34 gnome login, I get nothing on the lower right
allowing me to login to the classic sessions.

https://ibb.co/dpfJvfX

$ ls /usr/share/xsessions/
gnome-classic.desktop  gnome.desktop  gnome-xorg.desktop

$  ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions/
gnome.desktop

:'(

I installed F34 in a VM from scratch which installed Gnome as the only 
Desktop and afterwards installed KDE through the DNF GroupInstall 
process. Using GDM as the DM I get Gnome Classic, Gnome, Gnome on X11 
and Fluxbox as well as Plasma and Plasma on X11 in the bottom right hand 
corner. Issuing the same commands from KDE running on X11 that you did I 
have the following:

ls /usr/share/xsessions
fluxbox.desktop  gnome-classic.desktop  gnome.desktop 
  gnome-xorg.desktop  plasmax11.desktop

ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions
gnome.desktop  plasma.desktop

Steve

Hi Steve,

You made me think properly. I modified my

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

to

[daemon]
    Xorg
    WaylandEnable=false
    DefaultSession=gnome-classic

And now I have my gear back in the lower right of
the logon dialog!

Yippee!

Classic session is still weird, but nowhere near
as weird as the current version.  Now I have a choice.

Thank you!

From what I'm seeing all those options appear in the bottom right hand 
corner irrespective of whether the desktops are Gnome or Plasma and 
irrespective of whether they are on Xorg or Wayland.

They are suppose to.  Mine did not until I threw the
entry in custom.conf.  Go figure.
