[Bug 1441883] Re: 15.04 Vivid Vervet won't boot after uninstalling lightdm

 

Done, now xdiagnose only triggers if an installed display manager is
configured as default but couldn't start. This should fix your boot
issue.

We won't fail graphical.target anymore if the only available dm was
uninstalled, however, I do recommend you set then your default target to
multi-user.target (case on a server system for instance).

The lightdm part would be interesting to ensure /e/X/d-d-m is empty, but
not required.

  15.04 Vivid Vervet won't boot after uninstalling lightdm

Bug description:
  We've been trying to figure out how to disable the login screen on
  15.04 Vivid Vervet. Our method of doing this on 14.04 was to uninstall
  lightdm. If we do this on 15.04, however, the system won't boot. :(
  The main error seems to be: "Failed to isolate default target,
  freezing." (I have a picture of this, if there is a way to upload
  one.)
