Not able to get gdm3 after upgrade to kali sana


After upgrading to kali sana I am not able to get the desktop manager. All I get is a white page displaying "A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please logout and try again." Though I can access terminal using ctrl+alt+F5 apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade shows nothing new to install or upgrade. Who -r shows run-level 2 And gdm3 is on in run level 2
Don't know what to do. Someone please help.

Xorg- Fatal server error: (EE) server is already active for display 0. If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
startx- command not found

X- shows the same error as xorg

Also when the terminal shows up there shows this line: [57.112992] systemd-logind[2774]: Failed to start user service: Unknown unit: user@0.service

"ps -p 1 -o comm=" returns init and I think it should return systemd
