Ok, I thoroughly analyzed your qemu image and eventually found out that
the symbolic link /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service which
points to /lib/systemd/system/kdm.service was missing. A simple
ln -s /lib/systemd/system/kdm.service
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
fixed it for me.
Don't ask me why, but it was missing on your installation but not
on mine. I have to figure that out and I have to read up on the
documentation again to understand where this symlink comes from,
I did *not* create it manually in my case.
Also, the kdm.service that you put under /lib/systemd/system/
has a completely messed up formatting because you somehow messed
it up during copy and paste. Try looking at the file with "cat
/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service" and you understand what I mean.
I don't know whether this had any impact though.
PS: Next time you share such a qemu image, please don't set the
locale and the keyboard layout to Italian. It makes it easier
for non-Italian-speaking folk to help you.
