If you see GRUB but after only blank screen, this may be graphic card issue. In this case try apply nomodeset kernel parameter at grub screen (there are many tutorials on internet).cant get past name and password screen yet.

Good thought but its a laptop an older Dell no video card other than built in Video
don't know if it matters but password login error screen says... "your password is incorrect try again" cancel / log in boxes ...... nothing else and the same thing over and over when entering the password. I was super careful in the setup of these areas during setup
Tks

I was able to reproduce this in a virtualbox test-installation. After entering a wrong name/passw i was locked out. This solution gave me access again. And after that procedure, even entering the password wrong once, did'nt lock me out. Just enter correct password and login.
after this popup
Press the e key to open the boot parameter editor
Locate the text snippet ro quiet splash (or just ro).
Replace ro with rw and append init=/bin/bash to the end of the line. The end of your line should look exactly like this:
rw quiet splash init=/bin/bash
Press F10 to boot with these temporary settings.
Reset Your Password
The system will bypass the usual login screen and drop you directly into a root command prompt terminal (indicated by #).
Ensure the system partition is writeable by running:
mount -n -o remount,rw /
If you do not remember your exact system username, view it by typing:
ls /home
Type the password reset command followed by your account username:
passwd username
Enter your new password twice when prompted. Note: The text will not appear on the screen
Restart Computer

thanks for the effort.. I think it is called a locked loop I have seen this also.
I have found that if i do a
ctrl + alt + F3
it takes me to the terminal login screen at which point I am able to log in with user name and password that was setup during setup and then do things in terminal mode. terminal mode seems to be working just fine. I have done the updates and the upgrade. per info on terminal screens but nothing past that at this point.
AI says there is fix for this locked loop thing but I have not done it yet. will do it later on.. now i have to learn all the command line stuff if i live that long .?
Thanks again for the help.

hmmm that might also be a hardware issue, usually dry capacitors or memory problems, although memory problems will show up during boot in most cases.
You might want to try Linux Mint Debian Edition, after install and reboot:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
But this will be an older version of 2.9, not the master version or 2.10
Edit:
if you want to continue with ctrl+alt+F3 , type startx and check what errors it shows up.

good afternoon Sir
the startx command takes me into the debain program no errors.
windows 10 ran just fine. BUT it was Microsoft windows 10 (UGH)
what a back door just to run the debian OS
but it seems to work
is this something that might need to be looked at by the powers that be.? as a possible fix.

run the following cammand at the terminal:
systemctl get-default
if it replies with
multi-user.target
then that is what is wrong. Run
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
or if it replied with
graphical.target
then this is not the problem, it takes more diagnostics.

It doesn't matter. If you have it running now, just open a terminal window and run the command. Or doing it before startx should work the same.
