I have the same issue. It didn't occur immediately after my install of 24.04 LTS, but after doing apt get update.

Now whenever I log in, sometimes I'll get a blank screen. It will only show the mouse cursor as an X. The problem seems to be intermittent. So far it's only happened to me using X11. My current workaround: 1. Open another terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F6) 2. Restart gdm3 (sudo systemctl restart gdm3) This seems to be affecting many people, although I couldn't find an existing bug: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1514757/issue-with- ubuntu-24-04-black-screen-with-cursor-on-login $ lsb_release -rd No LSB modules are available.
