Pi boots to a Black screen with White cursor (non blinking) in the top left

[Joeboyc2]

Describe the bug
After installing Octodash via the automatic install, and several hours of troubleshooting i am no further forward.
The pi boots fine and i can see the output on the screen then i goes to a black screen with a non blinking cursor in the top left hand corner.
Im able to connect to the pi via ssh and it responds to commands.

I have plugged a keyboard and mouse in to the pi but cant get away from the black screen to see the console again.

I have tried all of the others fixes that have been mentioned - setting the display to :0, i have removed and re-installed Octodash and all the relevant X dependencies but nothing seems to help

I've managed to fix this by re-installing some bits.

This is the process i followed, for anyone having the same issues:
Install the RaspberryPi Desktop Environment:
sudo ./scripts/install-desktop

Then reinstall the LCD drivers:
sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show

Setup console Autologin:
sudo raspi-config
Option "3 Boot Options"
Option "B1 Desktop / CLI"
Option "B2 Console Autologin"
Finish and reboot
