Graphical crash loop on fresh installation

[Skia]

Upon fresh install of Ubuntu Mate 24.10 beta (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/daily-live/20240918.1/oracular-desktop-amd64.iso), the installation completes successfully, but the reboot ends up in a kind of graphical crash loop.
The mouse regularly warps back to the middle of the ever black screen.

From time to time, I see a bunch of scrambled console output (see screenshot attached).

I can confirm graphical crash loop after upgrade from Ubuntu MATE 24.04 to 24.10. Please fix before release.

I fixed it with:
