May 21, 2018 at 17:31 comment added Mark Messa @ivanivan startx from console basically enters in a similar 'freezed' dark screen, blinks sometimes and returns to the console. The output I've just added to the original post.

startx
May 21, 2018 at 15:42 comment added ivanivan If you log in at the prompt and run startx what happens? Does service status gdm report anything? Does service gdm restart do anything for you? Whoops.. nm. Just read you aren't even getting a login prompt.
