Did you get any error message? Or error code (return code), i.e. can you
say wether that command failed or succeeded?

Are you able to switch to console (Ctrl + Alt + F[1-6]) and log in?

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.

HTH
