I know just enough to be dangerous, but many scary-sounding log messages 
are not indicators of something wrong.

Apart from that, Ubuntu uses upstart instead of systemd as its system 
manager to start/stop services -- and I assume xubuntu does likewise.  
It might be that the message you reported in your first post is a kernel 
message indicating what system managers it found or didn't find, but I'm 
speculating.

I see the log message above "Successfully activated service 
'org.freedesktop.systemd1'" which seems to contradict what I just said 
about upstart vs. systemd, but it is not literally referring to the 
system manager named systemd but to a service named 
org.freedesktop.systemd1.
