I have a dual-boot windows and ubuntu system. My pc is and acer aspire desktop computer. For some reason which I can not figure out yet my computer boots into the terminal login screen. I have tried the following commands:

$ startx

with the following errors:

......

The full /var/log/Xorg.0.log file is found here

I have also deleted the ~/.Xauthority file, but all it does is recreate it and still boots into the terminal login screen.

As @Zanna suggested, what worked was to boot into the bios and turning off "secure boot". After that it booted into the gui login screen but would go into a login loop after entering my password. I then had to follow the advice on this page and used sudo chown username:username ~/.Xauthority. Now it boots both into the gui login screen as well as logs me into the gui desktop.
