The work-around suggested in #29 worked for me. That's using the Graphics Drivers PPA (https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa).

Just to be clear about the symptoms I was seeing:

- The splash screen DID appear
- LightDM would NOT appear (just a black, blank screen)
- I could go to a virtual terminal and start the desktop with "startx"
- I had no problems with the Nouveau drivers only the proprietary drivers

However, lightdm works fine with the nvidia-390 package from the Graphics Drivers PPA.

The hardware is an Asus GL-553-VD laptop with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile.
