Details

A GNOME Wayland session is started in tty2 by GDM instead of tty1. GDM is started in tty1, isn't replaced by the GNOME shell and continue running after login.

* GDM 3.22.1
* GNOME shell 3.22.1
* Wayland 1.12.0
This task depends upon

If I logout from a GNOME session running in tty2 I get two GDM prompts: one in tty1 and another in tty2.

Gdm keeps running by default, so that's not a bug. Having two ttys with gdm running is a bug though, but I can't reproduce it.

In which tty does GDM start on your machine? When you login, in which tty is the GNOME session started by the manager?

gdm starts on tty1, session runs on tty2.

GNOME 3.20 behaves the same way.

So, you have a GDM login GUI constantly running on tty1? What's the purpose of this? What do you get on tty2 after you lock the screen? (I get two GDM login prompts, I can go back to the session by entering my credentials in any of them.)

The two prompts are normal. One is GDM, the other is just the lockscreen in your session's shell.
