Disable lightdm and you'll start seeing the messages. The right way is
to put an exit command early in the lightdm config file. The easy way
is to rename lightdm to lightdm.unused. Don't actually delete it in
case you want to put things back.
Be forewarned that after doing that, you'll be logging into tty1, and
then running startx to run your gui, and you might need to exec your
gui (lxde or whatever) as the last command of !/.xinitrc.
