GDM broke my system - there's anyway to re-enable TDM or LightDM?

I installed GDM in my system, and when I rebooted, the system becomes unable to boot. It's now on a loop :'(

It says:

Removed slice User Slice of Debian-gdm
Created slice User Slice of Debian-gdm
Starting User Manager for UID 118...
Started Session c5 of user Debian-gdm
Started User Manager for UID 118...
Stopped User Manager for UID 118...
Removed slice User Slice of Debian-gdm
...

I tried to login in Ctrl+Alt+F2 terminal, but the loop stay running in background and making the screen blink, so I can't type the login credentials.

I have Ubuntu 16.04 installed in another partition, there's any way to recover LightDM or TDM editing any file on the Q4OS partition?

Solved

I logged in to the terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F9, then I could login by typing one caracter everytime that the screen blinks because the gdm loop. Here's a 12-sec video https://sendit.cloud/f35o972cdvpn.

So I was able to login and run dpkg-reconfigure.
