A similar thread was discussed on debian-users mailing list in
December, 2023. Confer,
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/12/msg00302.html>.

I believe what you are seeing is, X or Wayland fails to start, so you
get kicked back to the login screen. I believe the initial
troubleshooting steps are, switch to a virtual terminal and examine
