When this happens, is there a movable cursor? Or no?

This happens after installing Nvidia drivers. After that I restart the computer so that the drivers start working. The login screen appears, I enter the login, password then enter and the screen becomes black. The cursor is invisible. I can turn off the computer by ctrl+alt+delete then enter, so it seems that the system is working.

Ah, this is Bug 500797.

It'll be fixed in Plasma 6.3.3, or if Neon packagers backport it earlier.
