   I got into a wayland session - yay!

   I finally found an instruction which had the key words to show me the way.   
      
   Since this is a live, my strategy has been to logout/in, but I   
   encountered instructions which took away the logout/in (in favor of a   
   reboot, which loses the changes of a live) and gave me the choice of   
   systemctl restart gdm3 because it said:   
      
   > After you have made the desired changes, save this file and exit it.   
   > You will need to restart GDM3 or reboot your Ubuntu 22.04 desktop for

   So, using the live session, I simply change the custom.conf by accessing   
   it w/ the default gedit started w/ sudo to enable wayland and restart   
   gdm3 w/ systemctl   
      
   $ sudo systemctl restart gdm3   
      
   I still haven't figured out how to get the menu, but for now I'll assume   
   that 'you can't get there' in a live session because its user ubuntu   
   isn't the same kind of user as you would have w/ a conventional install.   
     The login screen isn't 'conventional' compared to screenshots I've   
   seen for Ub 22.04 installed.  That is, there *isn't* a login screen w/   
   the default live boot and if you logout/in to get one, it isn't the same   
   as a conventional installed Ub 22.04 and there is no gear icon.
