Stupid (as in I am guilty of that) question: do you know if this
USB is not a bum? The later explains why I could not my raspberry pi
booting. Replacing with a new sd card solved this issue.
If you want to be lazy and have a hypervisor, create an vm guest and
boot it using the usb.
With that said, it is possible that while you are having an
uncooperative gui you can still switch screens (i.e. keyboard still
listening to you) to screen 1 or 2 and then take a look at the
dmesg/log output for clues of what went boink.
