Can we see something like: 
$grep -2 '(EE)' ~/.localshare/xorg/Xorg.1.log

But my guess is this problem will turn out to be about too many display managers or
multiple X sessions or X fighting with wayland or whatever the ubuntu
wayland-competitor was called etc.
I'd be interested in seeing if any X servers are running.
Maybe something like:
$ps ax | grep Xorg
or even
$ps ax | grep X 

And if you find a process running X it's probably a display manager that
you aren't using, and maybe it can be shut off i.e:
$sudo /etc/init.d/somedm stop
