In my system I have the directory /var/log/gdm3, which is empty. Perhaps
there is something in it on your system?

And, can you choose a different session in the login screen, when logging in
locally?

I guess your display manager is gdm3. From what you've written, I looks like
it can't start your session after login. There must sure be a place where it
logs errors. Such as /var/log/gdm3.

Bye,
Volker
