   The error message "Error: Can't open display" seems like an output of   
   some X program unable to start because X has not been started. I suppose   
   that you by "login prompt" men a terminal text login prompt? Or did you   
   configure your system with runlevel 4 and mean a graphical login like   
   SDDM?   
      
   Did you add any X program to any startup files like /etc/rc.d/rc.local?
