On booting a new installed xenial with trinity tdm I get the error message:
"A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up(time/no limit)"
which prevents starting the console logins.
Using sddm or lightdm works together with systemd.
I have looked into the systemd configuration of them both and changed the file
/lib/systemd/system/tdm.service according to the sddm configuration to
[Unit]
Description=Trinity Display Manager
Documentation=man:tdm-trinity(1)
Conflicts=getty(a)tty7.service
After=getty(a)tty7.service
# Ordering
Conflicts=plymouth-quit-wait.service
After=systemd-user-sessions.service plymouth-start.service plymouth-quit-wait.se
OnFailure=plymouth-quit.service
[Service]
# temporary safety check until all DMs are converted to correct
# display-manager.service symlink handling
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c '[ "$(basename $(cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
2>
ExecStart=/opt/trinity/bin/tdm
Restart=always
RestartSec=1s
With this file the plymouth/systemd handshake seams to work.
Maybe this helps someone else.

Maybe... I hope so...
I had the same boot "freeze" here on xenial:
"A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up(time/no limit)"
I did not connect it with trinity tdm. Googling show me folks with the
same issue -- but different causes/fixes -- none of which worked in my case.
Perhaps my problem is/was what you explain above.
What I did was remove systemd and go back to upstart.
If time permits and my frustration level stays low, I may try your fix, Stef.
I am still trying to beat several (other) problems into submission after
upgrading to Ub 16.04.
Thanks for your report!
