Bug Description
In an up to date Ubuntu 17.04 amd64 vm, if I:
1. install ubuntu-
2. select lightdm as the default
3. sudo service lightdm stop ; sudo service lightdm start
4. login choosing 'GNOME Wayland'
the screen goes black with a flashing cursor in the upper left. If I 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow lightdm' and choose 'gdm3', then stop lightdm and start gdm3, then I can login to a wayland gnome3 desktop.

gdm3 runs using Wayland by default. If it can't run Wayland, then it hides the GNOME on Wayland session. That implies to me that it is required for the login greeter to run Wayland?
