Bug Description

It happened suddenly and I can't open my Ubuntu on LightDM mode.
It kept saying "The system is running in low-graphics mode" and only terminal mode was available whenever I tried to open with lightDM mode. Now I have to work with GDM and it's pretty uncomfortable to work with. (ex) I can't type my native language) I've tried everything on google and still can't fix it.

When I typed ubuntu-bug lightdm on terminal this appeared:

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
cat: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf: No such file or directory
cat: /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log.old: No such file or directory
Using PPAPI flash.
--ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=

I don't think so because I can log-in w/o problem when using GDM, and don't have to reboot between logins. The problem is I can only use server mode in lightDM mode
