I've also encountered this bug/crash since I always change the cursor to DMZ-White when I install Ubuntu and I reckon other ex-Windows users might also do. Before that I've noticed this weird "X" cursor when desktop was loading (see attachement). I've replicated the bug using only the live USB (try without installing Ubuntu 24.04). Just apt install gnome-tweaks and then change cursor to DMZ-White leads to crashing. Re-tried by first installing Nvidia drivers with no difference.
