Please be sure you are connected to a network via ethernet cable and use dhclient from the command line to get an internet connection type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
sudo apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm gnome-session

(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)
