Public bug reported: I installed Ubuntu 19.04 in VirtualBox using the net install ISO. I then installed a minimal XFCE4 desktop and LightDM using apt:
sudo apt install xfce4 --no-install-recommends sudo apt install lightdm --no-install-recommends After rebooting, it hangs on the loading screen. I pressed CTRL + ALT + G and saw that systemd had tried to start LightDM several times but failed at every one. The boot process hangs on "A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up". The only way to solve this is by either reinstalling Ubuntu or chrooting into the installation from a live CD and removing the lightdm package. ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813623 Title: Failed to start LightDM on disco Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I installed Ubuntu 19.04 in VirtualBox using the net install ISO.
