Umpf! It says lightdm is ACTIVE:
lightdm.service - LSB: Start lightdm
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/lightdm; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (exited) since Mo 2016-07-25 08:11:53 CEST
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
Process: 2937 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/lightdm start (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
Jul 25 08:11:53 host systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Start lightdm...
Jul 25 08:11:53 host systemd[1]: Started LSB: Start lightdm.
