Bug Description

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.
