Do you have any information from systemd about why it didn't start?

"systemctl status lightdm" gave me the clue that the ExecPreStart failed, I had a different path than expected in /etc/X11/default-display-manager (usr/bin vs usr/sbin). "systemctl status" is actually really nice.

Changed in lightdm (Ubuntu):
status:	Confirmed → Incomplete
