You have highlighted

  > (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)

This is an interesting line in the log.

Why should using a radeon card give such a message? What has radeon to
do with nvidia? It could be a logging error but why does it occur? xorg
has sorted out which card is present.

Incidentally, we know X comes up for the OP (gnome-session runs. Without
X it wouldn't). So this may not be the problem at all.

  glxinfo | grep render

is a good command for the OP to run. We would be interested in its output.

However, perhaps the OP could look at

  dpkg -l | grep nvidia

and purge any packages if anything nvidia related is in its output.
