Yes, the X cursor does move. Thinking there was nothing more to do for this bug, I switched back to Wayland (I've only been using X to troubleshoot this). On a whim I vigorously moved the mouse on login, and it has the same bug. It does manifest differently; in Wayland the cursor appears briefly in a frozen state and then the whole screen goes black.
I ran killall -ABRT gnome-shell and here's the crash report: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/f130dd6e-16d4-11f0-9a72-fa163e171f02 ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu 24.04 (X11) sometimes logs in to a black screen with only an X cursor + Ubuntu 24.04 sometimes logs in to a black screen if the mouse is moved during login -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2089709 Title: Ubuntu 24.04 sometimes logs in to a black screen if the mouse is moved during login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2089709/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
