Title:
  boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default-
  display-manager)

Bug description:
  I've installed Oneiric beta2 and at some point installed and purged
  gdm. After that, boot will hang waiting for lightdm to start, which
  never happens. This is because /etc/X11/default-display-manager ends
  up saying "lightdm" whereas /etc/init/lightdm.conf accepts
  "/usr/bin/lightdm" or "/usr/sbin/lightdm". The user sees the splash
  screen messages "Waiting for up to 60 more seconds for network
  configuration" and "Booting system without full network
  configuration".

  However, the fix is to edit the contents of /etc/X11/default-display-
  manager to read "/usr/sbin/lightdm".
