Apparently I missed this on first read, and though you are being dropped
to the rescue console.

Starting X as root is not recommended. I would suggest instead you run
(as root):
apt install xinit
systemctl set-default multi-user.target
and then boot "normally" (this time in text mode).
Log in with your normal user and try running 'startx' from the console.
In case it stops with some error messages we need those.
To revert to graphical login you must run (as root):
systemctl set-default graphical.target
Hope this helps,
Andrei
