I wished I came across this post earlier… After an update yesterday I was stuck with this dumb black-screen-cursor thing. I tried the best I could to fix the issue with all the solutions I found on the web (none directly pointed to this thread strangely enough…) but gave up and did a full wipe and full new install of EOS today…

What was my stupefaction seeing the exact same issue after a full reinstall :frowning:

What worked for me:

  • Install the nvidia-open-lts
  • Install KDE plasma (x11/wayland)

Now both XFCE and KDE work :confused: I dunno if it’s still relevant but here are the output asked from the first post:
