Hi,

that's strange. I run do-release-upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04. On my
install it's the same as for Colin's install, IOW
it's /lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service. 16.04 still seems to be a
hybrid, since at least rtirq is /etc/init.d/rtirq. However, lightdm
needs to run and rtirq just set up one time the rt priorities and then
doesn't run anymore, so that rtirq exited is correct, but if lightdm
exits, it isn't.

I've got those packages installed:

[root at moonstudio weremouse]# dpkg -l lightdm* | grep ii
ii  lightdm             1.18.2-0ubuntu1 amd64        Display Manager
ii  lightdm-gtk-greeter 2.0.1-2ubuntu4  amd64        simple display manager (GTK+ greeter)

Consider to purge the lightdm package that you've got installed and
after that to reinstall those packages.

Regards,
Ralf
