A bodge-workaround may well be to press ctl-alt-f1 to bring up a
terminal window login, login there, and then give the command:

startx

That should start up your desktop for that user.

Next is to find out why the graphical login manager broke and what the
fix for that is...


Good luck,
Martin

ps: Looks like someone made a business out of Bodge-ing!
