I can only suggest you to backup your data from LiveCD or another Linux installation and to do a clean reinstall. I had the exact same issue and nothing but clean installation solved it.

I had the same problem, and I think that doing asudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bakfixed the thing (I also didsudo apt purge nvidia-*and then installed it again, but I don't really know if it changed anything)

Your OS is not properly installed. Try the following:
exec sudo -i
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean
If it doesn't work, reinstall Ubuntu.
Follow this to reinstall the OS without loosing data. The post is about Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but it'll also work for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

In my case this alone did not work, since I was migrating from 17.10 gdm3. As described in the solution of Murmel below, I've got it fixed now by "sudo apt install lightdm" and decide gdm3 as window manager, when the popup appears (gdm3 or lightdm)
