I recently tried to install the GNOME desktop environment on my Ubuntu 15.10. The installation took a while and then prompted me to restart the computer. That's what I did but when relaunching, it indefinitely only shows a black screen saying :



fsck from util-linux 2.26.2
/dev/sda5: clean, */* files, */* blocks
[ OK ] Created slice user-120.slices
Starting User Manager for UID 120...
[ OK ] Started Session c1 of user gdm.
[ OK ] Started User Manager for UID 120.
Starting Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service...
[ OK ] Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service.
Stopping User Manager for UID 120...
[ OK ] Started Detect the available GPUs and deal with any system changes.
Starting GNOME Display Manager...
[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager.
_


... and that's all.



I can still access the terminal and log in using Ctrl + Alt + F2



I probably made a mess during the installation (I forget to add the -shell when typing sudo apt-get install gnome) and hope it's not too serious.



I apologize for my bad English and if a similar question was already answered.

          I am also experiencing this problem, and so far no fixes can be found. Unlike yours, I cannot access terminal.



          Since you can use terminal, try this command:



          sudo gdm


          Good luck.
