It sounds like the Display Manager isn't loading. The default is to
use gdm. As for why it is not loading, you can look at the logs, or
run /usr/sbin/gdm as root, and see what errors you get. It is also
possible that there is a problem with the scripts that start the
display manager of your choice, but I would not expect that.
