Yep, changing /etc/X11/default-display-manager to include the full path
to lightdm fixes the problem. I wonder why this way not corrected by my
various attempts at pruging, dpkg-reconfigure-ing and reinstallating
attempts to fix this?!

Title:
  display manager does not start (neither lightdm nor gdm)

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to onereic I am having the problem on my Dell Latitude
  E6410 that the display manager does not open. Also the boot process
  seems to have issues. It hangs a long time "waiting for network
  connection" (even though one is present, both wired and wifi).

  Lightdm or gdm can be made to start manually by typing "sudo start
  lightdm" however this is a bit annoying.
