GNOME Display Manager says “OK” but does not launch :(

I recently tried to install the GNOME desktop environment on my Ubuntu 15.10. The installation took a while and then prompted me to restart the computer. That's what I did but when relaunching, it indefinitely only shows a black screen saying :

fsck from util-linux 2.26.2

/dev/sda5: clean, */* files, */* blocks

[ OK ] Created slice user-120.slices

       Starting User Manager for UID 120...

[ OK ] Started Session c1 of user gdm.

[ OK ] Started User Manager for UID 120.

       Starting Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service...

[ OK ] Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service.

       Stopping User Manager for UID 120...

[ OK ] Started Detect the available GPUs and deal with any system changes.

       Starting GNOME Display Manager...

[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager.

_

... and that's all.

I can still access the terminal and log in using [Ctrl][alt][F2]

I probably made a mess during the installation (I forget to add the '-shell' when typing 'sudo apt-get install gnome') and hope it's not too serious.

I apologize for my bad english and if a similar question was already answered.

Thanks for your time and help :)

I am also experiencing this problem, and so far no fixes can be found. Unlike yours, I cannot access terminal.

Since you can use terminal, try this command:

sudo gdm

Good luck.
