In order to try to understand what is possible wrong, I tried to run lightdm in my porevious BE
that contained thed November 2017 bits. When I enter the following command a black screen pops up
that disappears immediately and I see some messages on the terminal:

$ /usr/sbin/lightdm --test-mode debug
