Bug#774020: systemd: black screen with backlight on start. rescue mode plus Ctrl-D allows normal boot

[allan]

Nope - installed lightdm to test.  Both were installed at the same time for
about 30 minutes, then purged lightdm.

Installed lightdm with synaptic, synaptic launched dpkg-reconfigure and I
set default DM to lightdm at that point.  When I purged lightdm I ran
dpkg-reconfigure manually to make sure things were purged and slim was back
to default.

Appears to me in both DM that perhaps X is not starting or only partially
starting; as mentioned I get black screen with backlight and can't switch
to another console, but if I start in rescue mode and then hit Ctrl-D X
comes up every time.

Strange.
