Bug#778573: xorg: Xorg shows blank black screen at startup instead of a Display Manager.
I see you have the nouveau driver loaded, indicating you have nvidia
hardware.
This is the same symptom I reported using the nvidia driver in bug
#775012.
I can disable the display manager and boot to a console, then use
startx to get a KDE session.
