Public bug reported:
Plymouth in Xenial is missing Upstart units. Because of this, any system
using Upstart as the init system will not automatically start the
display manager.
Step to reproduce:
1. On a minimal system, "sudo apt install upstart-sysv lightdm".
2. Restart the system.
Expected result:
LightDM starts.
Actual result:
LightDM doesn't start and I'm on the console login prompt. By checking
/etc/init, I see:
$ ls /etc/init/plymouth*
ls: cannot access '/etc/init/plymouth*': No such file or directory
Ubuntu version: 16.04, updated as of 19 December 2019
Plymouth version: 0.9.2-3ubuntu13.5
