   I booted a live Ub 22.04 -- I don't like gnome :-/   
      
   It did /NOT/ give me the menu; I logged out and back in, still no menu.   
      
   I enabled the universe repo so I could add inxi and see inxi -G which   
   said my graphics were xorg.   
      
   So I looked into custom.conf as above and this is what my live showed   
   (between //):   
      
   //   
   # GDM configuration storage   
   #   
   # See /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas for a list of available options.   
      
   [daemon]   
   # Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg   
   WaylandEnable=false   
      
   # Enabling automatic login   
   AutomaticLoginEnable=true   
   AutomaticLogin=ubuntu   
      
   # Enabling timed login   
   TimedLoginEnable=false   
   #  TimedLogin = user1   
   #  TimedLoginDelay = 10   
      
   [security]   
      
   [xdmcp]   
      
   [chooser]   
      
   [debug]   
   # Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging   
   # More verbose logs   
   # Additionally lets the X server dump core if it crashes   
   #Enable=true   
   //   
      
   So, in the live case, I didn't get a menu for two reasons; Wayland was   
   disabled and automatic login was enabled.
