So I tried to install Unity3D and it didn't work out. Each time I started it it would crash. Anyways, I moved on and did some stuff on blender. I switch off my computer and restart it a little later, reach the login screen, type in my password, hit enter and after that... A black screen... I could still move my cursor but other than that, nothing. I tried using Xfce and Cinnamon and still nothing but I can still access TTY though... Any help?

More or less, it's just a black screen, no background – Exos9 May 11 '16 at 17:55

From personal experience, this has a variety of causes, so finding the right solution is "hard". Try this, this, this. Please do post if there's anything. – Tony Lancer May 11 '16 at 18:11

Ok here's where I've gotten to so far. None worked, but when I type "startx" in the tty, same thing, black screen, but if I go back into the tty I get "No protocol specified" for about 5 minutes before the tty shuts down xserver – Exos9 May 12 '16 at 16:14

Removing my graphics Nvidia drivers didn't help – Exos9 May 12 '16 at 16:57

SOLVED IT Reinstalled Cinnamon desktop, removed XFCE and rebooted, it said the disk was full, deleted a few things and I'm now back on track
