I tried Wayland while logging in and it works fine until I try to play some local video file using VLC. Ubuntu freezes completely and I have to power off by pressing the power button. It works fine in the default Xorg Ubuntu session. Is it a bug ? If there is a fix, kindly let me know.



I use 18.04.2.
