If I hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 after logging into the CtrlAltF1 terminal, it just shows
the login screen with a green check mark in a circle next to my username
saying that I am already logged in, but it still has a password prompt.
Entering the password will produce the same loop of it looking like it is
about to log in, but not.
When I run sudo gdm restart from the F1 terminal, I get:
**(gdm-binary:1754): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
**(gdm-binary:1754): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
