PS: forgot to say I was able to get to a tty by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F1 and login from there. I could start my session with startx, but if I wanted to start lightdm from the tty it was just looking like it was started but nothing happened, just ended on the first screen of the unfinished boot, and coming back to tty1 then trying to "stop" lightdm or kill the pid that the "service lightdm start" command had returned as output, resulted in a message showing that lightdm had not been started at all.
