I'm marking as duplicate since this bug is no longer reproducible after
today's updates according to the comments here.
Till, Ubuntu 17.10 does use GDM by default. And if you upgrade now from
17.04, you should be transitioned from LightDM to GDM automatically
(unless you have other desktop environments installed I think).
LightDM itself does not use either unity-settings-daemon or gnome-
settings-daemon. unity-greeter though does use unity-settings-daemon.
Unity requires unity-settings-daemon to be installed for the lockscreen.
While I'd love to see unity-settings-daemon be removed, it would cause
regressions with keyboard shortcuts ("hotkeys") and gnome-control-
center's Displays panel wouldn't work. These are fixable with developer
effort (GNOME Flashback managed to fix both of these issues) but there
aren't really developers working on improving Unity now.

so i'm joining the crasfh file
This happen now with each cold boot: get a black screen, does not even get a
login screen (using lightdm), so startx is ran from a console to finally get
the gnome-shell loaded.
