Gnome isn't able to enter wayland: solution
Ok, this will be a short post, but I hope this can help you if someone has the same problem as I had.
Here's the problem we been dealing: You try to open a session with Gnome (Wayland WM) but it closes right at the moment. After this, you are at the same we started, the GDM (Gnome Display Manager).
If you can see the logs, there's an entry that says there was an error with the group and user of the folder '/tmp/.X11-unix'.
Solution:
There's a strange explanation for this, a error occurs with the group and user access of ´/tmp/.X11-unix´, the owner of this folder should be 'root'.
The moment that you have been waiting for, the solution. This can be solved with the next commands:
sudo chown root /tmp/.X11-unix
sudo chgrp root /tmp/.X11-unix
After that, it would be over. I launched the commands in 'Sway', but I'm not sure if there would be any side-effects if you launch the commands in a X11-session. I recommend you to launch the commands in TTY mode, or a WM-session that doesn't use X11.
Bye bye!
With that, I leave. Hope I helped you
