I fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04 (no dual boot) on my Dell XPS 15 9560. When I enter my password the login screen UI disappears, and the background and my mouse freeze. How to prevent Ubuntu 18.04 from freezing at the login screen?

The Dell XPS 15 9560 has an Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU with 4GB RAM dedicated memory, but maybe the GTX 1050 doesn't have a proprietary driver installed for it. If you can't login to the desktop environment to install the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver, you can access a virtual console and install the graphics driver from there.
From the login screen before entering your password logging press the keyboard combination Ctrl+Alt+F3 to access a text-only virtual console.
To login from a virtual console:
At the
login:prompt type your username and press Enter.At the
Password:prompt type your user password and press Enter. After you have logged in, you can run commands from the virtual console.
The proprietary Nvidia graphics driver can be installed in Ubuntu 18.04 from the terminal/console with the following commands:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
sudo reboot
When installing a proprietary graphics driver, it is not necessary to uninstall the built-in open source graphics driver. The two graphics drivers can be installed alongside each other allowing the open source graphics driver to be used as a fallback alternative in case there is a problem using the proprietary graphics driver.
The ubuntu-drivers autoinstall command installs drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation including their dependencies, and the Nvidia driver will also be updated automatically when an update is available.
