Hi guys
I posted a request for help titled "Unable to boot into the Gnome desktop after installing Debian Buster 10.4" to this group earlier today.
I wish to add that since that post, I have performed the following at the console tty2:
sudo systemctl status gdm3
The message on my monitor is "gdm3 is active and running".
Next, I typed
sudo startx
I was told to check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the errors.
Below are the contents of said log:
