There was a similar problem in CentOS 7.6 with gdm 3.28 after authorization in X. It looks like it's a glitch gdm.

Opening the second console: Ctrl+Alt+F2
Run htop, find X the process, and send it SIGTERM.
- F4 typing gdm - to find X process
- F9 ⇒ SIGTERM
X Window it will also restart on the second attempt gdm will be work normally.
To log in without authorization, you can add to /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
```
 AutomaticLogin=username
 AutomaticLoginEnable=True
```

Additional information:

gdm for gnome.
lightdm for xfce.
lxdm for lxde.
