The 'green Debian desktop' that you are describing is probably the GRUB
background. That is not the desktop- it is a splash screen which is part of the
boot procedure. You do not appear to have actually installed a desktop
environment.

What installation image did you use? I suspect you forgot to tell the installer
to install a desktop environment.

What exactly do you see when you boot? Can you see a 'Login:' prompt once the
terminal has opened?
