Description
I'm using Xubuntu 24.04 with an NVIDIA GK107M (GeForce GT 650M). LightDM is lightdm 1.30.0. Since the update from 22.04 to 24.04 LightDM shows a Blank (Black) Login screen if it's used with nVidia 470 Drivers. I can't login.
If I remove LightDM and install another Display Manager like GDM it works.
