I have an Ubuntu 14.04 computer running . Yesterday, I was trying to install Teamviewer, but I was not able because apparently it depended "on libgcc1". After doing some search, a specialized forum indicated that the problem could be solved by installing Wine, and I did so. Unfortunately, it seems that the installation of this program messed up with the configuration of the system, as when I turned on the computer again, I was able to access the GRUB prompt but the screen would go black afterwards. After some analysis, I realised it was due to the fact that "Starting LightDM Display Manager" was failing, and thus the GUI was not starting. Does anyone know how to fix the issue? I'm a beginner in Ubuntu and I don't want to make it worse. Thanks in advance.

Try this command: 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

and choose kdm as default.

If this doesn´t work, try with other answers here.

PS: As you said you´re new on Ubuntu, I recommended you to download .deb files when you want to install something new on Ubuntu.
