The current workarounds for that would be: * Safe mode (software rendering); or * Uninstalling the Nvidia driver to use Nouveau instead; or * Ubuntu 24.04

A week ago or so suddenly (after a apt-get dist-upgrade) my pc doesn't boot into Gnome anymore, it opens a black screen with only a cursor (and I hear a new audio welcome sound that wasn't there earlier, but probably not related) When I boot an older kernel, everything is fine, but I have no Nvidia driver there, so when I install that with dkms autoinstall for that older kernel, I get the same black screen as well. So it seems to be some compatibility issue between Nvidia en Gnome- Shell. There are more people on the Ubuntu Forums that have the same issue.
