In my case lightdm does not start at all and the system reports
that the service

svc:/application/graphical-login/lightdm:default

has failed. For some reason, the nvidia driver fails. I have
a GT210 nvidia card and this started a week ago or even 10 days 
ago. I have tried to install a new nvidia driver. IN this case
lightdm starts and the login screen appears. However, it fails to
login. Since I did some almost stupid things in order to install
a different version of the nvidia driver, it is quite possible 
that there is something wrong with the specific version of the
nvidia driver.
