You have been subscribed to a public bug: When I run the following command:
$ sudo service lightdm restart on a system which has lightdm (installed, in use) and xdm (installed, not in use), I get an error message in TTY7: "ot starting X display manager (xdm): it is not the default display manager" Expected lightdm to restart. It's stuck there and I can either reboot at that point or press ctrl- alt-f1, log in, and run the command again. Removing xdm does not resolve the issue, as I get stuck on TTY7, but I no longer see the error.
