Yes.  With startx you don't start a display manager (gdm, sddm, or whatever you've

It sounds as if you have a standard Workstation installation and as such gdm will be
the DM.  And, it sounds as if gdm isn't starting.

When you boot and get to the blank screen you should be able to get to a Virtual
