Re: No login screen at startup?
It's not clear from your opening post if this always has been the case or if you had a working system and it happened all at a sudden.
What do you try to achieve with <alt><F1> ? It calls up de menu so no surprise that that is garbled when you invoke it as your graphical stuff is a not quite working.
What video card and what monitor (make and model for both).
You can use <ctrl><alt<F1> to get to a console and login. Next you can inspect /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if there are any clues in there. Specifically check for lines starting with EE to see what it says.
Can you tell us what your level of expertise is?
If you don't make backups of your important data, your data is obviously not important to you.
