No. It's the opposite problem. The problem is that a desktop environment
including a Display Manager *has* been installed -- but X doesn't start,
or can't enter whatever crazy 3D acceleration mode the Display Manager
has requested.
The solution is typically to install nonfree firmware, and/or nonfree
drivers, and/or to upgrade to a newer release if the hardware is too
new.

Press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to attempt to reach a text console. If that's
successful, then he can login there (as root) and attempt to install
whatever's required to fix the problem.
If that doesn't work, then he can try booting into single-user mode,
if he gave a root password during installation. Or, if there is no
root password, then he can try booting with the additional kernel
parameter
systemd.unit=multi-user.target
which should suppress the Display Manager from running, and boot into
console mode.
