>it does not seem to be a virtual console 1
Actually it is.
What's up with the funny OEM username? Did you input it? I haven't seen that
before.
Is this a normal install or some virtualization hassle?
Does anything happen if you run
startx
If not, try reading some logs to see if there is some hint. Like
less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(q quits) and
dmesg | less
those might or might not make any sense.
What kind of graphics card do you have?
lspci -nn|grep VGA
For that gdm reinstall thing you need a working network connection and to
first do
sudo apt-get update
