Are you able to switch to console (Ctrl + Alt + F[1-6]) and log in? > Any idea what I could do (other than reinstalling > the whole beast) I don't know how Ubuntu handles that stuff, but on Debian you find: $ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager /opt/trinity/bin/tdm Check the contents of that file. I've had this file changed to another installed display manager a couple of times during upgrade of tdm-trinity. If you can't log in at all, you can try with a rescue or live system from USB or such. Or start with option init=/bin/bash on linux command line to have at least a shell.
