Assuming you are using KDM login shell, login with the default session. Hopefully, that will open up either KDE or Gnome. Next go to the K or foot menu and go to Configuration. Go to KDE, then System, the Login Manager. There should be a tab called Sessions. At the bottom, there should be a section called Session Types. Manually add Gnome and KDE back to the list. Capitalization is important so it must be exactly "Gnome" and "KDE" (without the quotes of course).
