Sounds really strange, open a CLI should not be a problem at this point.
Afaik you could use Control+Alt+F2 [Or F3, F4, etc.] to switch to tty2 [3, 4 ..] with Gnome installed. BTW maybe this helps:

Betreff: [Xen-users] Basic Question: Accessing the console on Dom0 (Xen4.5-Ubuntu1504)
I'm something of a Xen padawan, but I've jumped in both feet, and so, of course, I'm stuck.
I've installed Ubuntu 15.04 on LVM,
followed by the usual apt-get update-of-everthing,
followed by the installation of the Xen 4.5 hypervisor package.
So far, so good, as I can boot easily via Grub2 into the Xen hypervisor O/S (dom0).
My next step would be to open a console and configure networking (bridge).
Here's the newbie bit: I can't open the console. I have to kill GNOME to get a CLI.
If I try the usual Control-Alt-T method or even the right-click-menu to open a console, the session quickly slows to a crawl then halts. A hard restart is only way out at this point.
I saw a reference regarding tty2 being the dom0 console location.
What have I missed here? Hopefully, something obvious.
Best regards,
Doch
