The problem continues after several TTY update/upgrades of packages. I tried to run the "apport-collect 1760261" command, but, due the issue with no GUI the browser can't open to "confirm" that I am sending the data . . . and clearly the data has not been added to the bug report. I think in the past I've tried to log in via another operating system, as I am now using to type this post, but if memory serves the browser has to open in the system that we are reporting the bug from??
As per the bot email I will change the status to "confirmed" even though I am the OP . . . . Earlier today I downloaded a fresh daily, so at some point I will be wiping the system install and trying another one . . . if I am the only reporter of this problem then perhaps there might not be a reason to keep this problem install around for "analysis"?? I have other options so it's not a problem to let it stay "wrong" for a few days . . . .

Tried to install another DE to test whether that would work and that also failed. Ran "dpkg" in the recovery system . . . found some updates but couldn't seem to download them; back into TTY and ran update/upgrade . . . showed 75 packages, which it installed . . . didn't fix the failure to log in problem. Did an "ls -l /home/username" . . . and it showed the /home contents of the directory as being there, but the system is not logging into the GUI.
