Lightdm works for the earlier versions.
I don't know enough about the init system to know where the problem
would lie, but what I do know is that dependency based booting is now
required for the broken versions. I've also looked though all log
files that I know of, and I can't find anything related with lightdm.

Don't send me files in proprietary formats (.doc(x), .xls, .ppt etc.).
It isn't good enough for Tim Berners-Lee, and it isn't good enough for
me either. For more information visit
