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!
