According with your "loginctl seat-status seat0" outputs, it seems your
live session lacks framebuffer devices (/dev/fb*) for VirtualBox/VMware.
Just for comparison, my Lubuntu system installed in a VirtualBox VM does
have a framebuffer device, so I suspect some needed kernel module for
providing framebuffer devices in VirtualBox is missing/not loaded for a
live session.

Anyway, this problem with CanGraphical=no seat0 are strictly related to
the lack of framebuffer devices in the system, so it can't be related to
xserver-xorg-video-* drivers.

@robert-ancell, in fact, CanGraphical property check was never implemented in GDM, although there's a 2-years-old open bug by Lennart:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678535

I will write to systemd-devel mailing list asking for suggestions. In
the meanwhile, it's better to make CanGraphical check in lightdm
optional (and disabled by default until we can address these issues with
missing framebuffer devices).

Bug description:
  Update to lightdm from 1.11.7-0ubuntu1 to 1.11.8-0ubuntu1 leaves me
  with no desktop on normal boot.

  Machine boots directly to tty1.

  Logged in at tty1 and then startx leads to a desktop that requires
  password to start properly and with themes unapplied.

  Password required to reboot machine.
