How do I switch to a tty from the GUI?
Is there a key sequence for X windows  once booted to go back to a regular login prompt?

You probably are missing whatever the xsession is trying to run.  If you
switch to a tty and check ~/.xsession-errors, you'll probably see
something more enlightening

Ctl-Atl-F8, followed by Alt-F1..Alt-Fn to switch to virtual
terminal 'n'.

Ctl-Alt-F7 gets you back to X
