[SOLVED] System boot halts at [OK] reached target Network

Question

Hello everyone,
I just finished updating my system ( the java-runtime-common was included ) which went well with the instructions provided in the home page. Time for reboot, everything still fine, on the boot everything is green and good to go as always but this time around everything just stands there.
I tried running systemd-analyze blame but the output didn't give me any clue on what's really going on:
5.090s NetworkManager.service
1.569s alsa-restore.service
1.553s systemd-logins.service
1.212s accounts-daemon.service
1.150s systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
1.027s systemd-vconsole-setup.service
... others less than second services start ups
Any suggestion on what May be the problem?
If you need any more information just tell me what outputs you need, I can't really figure what could be of help at the moment.

Ok, I've found him: Light Display Manager. He stops everything. I've cross checked the most recent boot with older boots and the only strings that actually change are these:
Here's the output from
journalctl -b -u lightdm
Nov 02 12:00:25 Archibald systems[1]: Starting Light Display Manager...
Nov 02 12:00:26 Archibald systems[1]: Started Light Display Manager.
Nov 02 12:00:30 Archibald systems[1]: lightdm.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Nov 02 12:00:30 Archibald systems[1]: Unit lightdm.service entered failed state.
Nov 02 12:00:30 Archibald systems[1]: lightdm.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.
Nov 02 12:00:30 Archibald systems[1]: Stopping Light Display Manager...
It goes on for a while with the same output, and then:
Nov 02 12:00:32 Archibald systems[1]: Starting Light Display Manager...
Nov 02 12:00:32 Archibald systems[1]: lightdm.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start.
Nov 02 12:00:32 Archibald systems[1]: Failed to start Light Display Manager.
Nov 02 12:00:32 Archibald systems[1]: Unit lightdm.service entered failed state.
I tried to restart it manually but nothing change.
Any clues?
