Yes, that happened to me about a month ago, both with buster and bullseye (arm64, encrypted disk). I selected the MATE desktop environment, which I prefer to the default GNOME 3 one.
I tried looking at the system log (with `journalctl`) and at several other log files under `/var/log`, but to no avail.
I just tried right now with the default GNOME 3 desktop environment and I do not experience that issue anymore (tried both with buster and bullseye, arm64 and encrypted disk).

Interesting, I tried with both XFCE and Cinnamon. It seems to be a lightdm issue, here is from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file:

Tried using the Gnome desktop and still no luck, only thing that seems I'm not 100% sure on is which keyboard to select, is one of the generic ones the option that works best? I would think that shouldn't be an issue since everything works in the console.
I'll keep playing with it.

Now that you mention that, in my successful installs I also specified, in the Debian setup dialogue windows:
* English (UK) keyboard layout (I have the ISO keyboard)
* Generic 105 keyboard
* No extra locales generated
In my previous attempts, I selected some extra locales (en_UK-UTF8 and en_US-UTF8). Perhaps that was the reason `lightdm` got confused ...
RE: An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro - jazzmans - 05-20-2020
All right, So. pulled the latest installer, ran it. (downloading packages before installation took 3+ hours!)
and, I've got debian bullseye installed to an sd card, however:
I've got a couple problems atm.
boot never gets a gui, the debian gui logo appears, then flashes a curser icon in upper left, then mouse arrow flashes in center of blank screen, then flashes cursor icon in upper left. ad infinitum.
I can Ctrl F1 and log in, however, can't get wifi to do a thing, so can't manipulate anything.
Sudo works, but there was no option to create a root user, as all normal debian installs do.
How do I create a root user in bash shell, and
How do I configure and activate wifi in bash?
I chose debian-desktop, xfce4, and laptop in taskselect in installation.
I just finished re-reading this entire thread while running the installation
TIA.

I've gotten GUI to work by following the steps in

Important note, ended up using the slightly modified version that Jordon posted on his github to make it get all the way through:

How did you get your wifi working to do this? [edit to answer]
nmcli device wifi list
nmcli device wifi connect "SSID" password "password"
[enter the ssid in double quotes, and the password in the other double quotes keeping the double quotes for both.]
[end edit for wifi]
edit to add;
I had to go into /etc/hosts and enter my hostname there.
I had to add after localhost
127.0.0.1 hostname
[end hosts edit]
# rather then just reply again and again, I'm just going to re-edit this post as I get through various obstacles,
Any Ideas on how to create a root user? using sudo is not normal for me, I'm a debian guy
working on graphics now... what a pita. thanks.

For future reference for others.
Now gonna work on the gui.
[edit to add after trying]
startx didn't work, but a reboot seems to have worked! (I hate having to reboot a machine)
haven't done much with it yet, but there's a working desktop! yaay.
None of the hotkeys work, for example, to lower or raise screen brightness, how do I re-enable this?
I'm using XFCE4, cause I always use Xfce4, under keyboards it's set to generic 104-key PC.this is an ansi keyboard.
