No nothing it just freezes

Nope.

Ok, I can try this, next time, in the meantime I re installed it leaving
the windows manager to lightdm

The strange thing is: on my actual machine (running 16.04)

the contend of 
/etc/X11/default-display-manager

Is lightdm

But tdm starts!!!

But on the other machine I don't dare now to run again 

sudo  dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
