If I knew where the problem lies ... sorry you might be right ... probably. This all is very confusing:

As far as I see the problem with lightdm starting correctly might be:

1. /var/run/dbus
2. wrong /etc/init/lightdm.conf
3. wrong ~/.dmrc entries
4. package lightdm-gtk-greeter not installed (probably more?)
5. somewhere I read something about plymounth involved !?

A newly installed system workes out of the box, so this only affects updated systems.
I will test this within the next days considering all aspects and comparing the test system with my actual installed system.

This should be able to be resolved when updating an existing system ;)
