Failed to Start Light Display Manager

Failed to Start Light Display Manager

I am very new to Ubuntu. I am getting failed to start Light Display Manager error when I start Ubuntu. I am not getting login page. It might be possible that I have deleted Lightdm package. Can I download it again using any command with proper link? It is not available in computer so I could not install it.

Check to see if you have lightdm installed:

lightdm -v

Install lightdm from your terminal:

sudo apt-get install lightdm

PS: Ctrl+Alt+F1 should grant you access to the console even if you do not have any screen icons
