Login to desktop using "failsafe session from login screen.
This should
bring up a terminal window on screen.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'failsafe' session so I logged in to a
terminal (type 3) from boot and
executed the command below.

Under login screen, you will be able to see a "Session" option. Select
"failsafe" from the same.


The output to log was as follows:

(gnome-session:2995): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
From type 3/init mode 3 run "xinit" command. This should bring up a
terminal window on screen.

$ xinit



Run gnome as shown below from terminal shown on screen, and
provide any
message printed

/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session 2>&1
| tee log

re-run this command, and let me know of the output.

Check of ~/.xsession-errors file for information.

I checked that and it had heaps of errors but didn't mean much to me.

I can do it again and attach the contents for you if that will help.
pastebin, or zip and mail me.
