The dialog box saying low graphics mode allows me to exit to console, if I do that, I can see on console 7 (ALT+F7):

[FAILED] Failed to start Light Display Manager.
See "systemctl status lightdm.service" for details.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Graphical Interface.

issuing command "service lightdm start" starts lightdm though, and I can login and work.
