Xorg/sddm only gives me a black screen.

Whenever I start my computer everything starts but instead of getting the usual greeter I get a black screen with a white line like a terminal. However even that is frozen. I have access to the tty but I have not really managed to fix anything. I have managed to start a gdm session in wayland however this only works some times and also only after installing gdm.

My best guess is that there is a problem with d-bus or networkmanager since NM gives me this error
Code: [Select]
<error> [1704455598.9907] bus-manager: fatal failure to aquire D-bus service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" (3). Service already taken

Another guess would be that nvidia has something to do with it but I can't verify that.

I am on an hp laptop with a ryzen 7 cpu and nvidia 3070 gpu.
