Quando eu estava solucionando minhas falhas do Wayland, descobri que dentro do / var / log / syslog estava o gdm se chocando contra mim.
eu tive as seguintes entradas de log

então eu corri
apt-get remove gdm && apt-get install lightdm
Esta entrada de log do syslog também foi escrita no meu Xorg.0.log também
Isso é apenas uma solução para mim, eu devo ter problemas com o Wayland no Geforce 1070GTX.
