Does "TTY" count? I'd be quite surprised if changing DE works when I
can't log in at a TTY either. It *might* be kdm, though I don't claim to
know how to change that.

BTW, 'systemctl start graphical.target' from single-user mode also kills
the system.

  /          108G
  /boot      336M
  /boot/efi   55M
  /var       119G
  /home      881G

New system, remember? There's nothing on it but the initial install
(modulo updates). I haven't even gotten to installing additional
software that I'll eventually want, because the system is unusable ATM.

Hmm... is it expected that there are no entries *at all* for the last
few boots? The only entries I have are for June 5. (And yes, my system
date is correct: June 18.) Anyway, I have no idea what I'd be looking for.
