updated to 18.04, no login screen

My PC freezes before the login screen (Ubuntu logo); if I select RECOVERY MODE and resume boot everything goes well. I suspect a problem with the graphics driver.

This answer is applicable for lightdm.



Most probably the login display manager is not starting, try starting the Lightdm manually (if you haven't changed it, i.e Default) from TTY by the following command : sudo start lightdm




A display manager presents the user with a login screen. A session
starts when a user successfully enters a valid combination of username
and password.




PS : If you don't know, you can access TTY by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1/2/3/4 at the freeze point you're referring to and then login with username and password.
