okay a previous "fresh install that was crashing plymouth screen/lightdm/xorg was fixed by copying a known working set of netplan conf files into /etc/netplan ..
the 01-netcfg.yaml from the "network install" uses networkd as the renderer .. with a working network device config.. plus the 01-network- manager-all.yaml file as well proof enough? of some weird interactions between services now the minimal 01-network-manager-all.yaml on the new installs seems to be lacking something .. although the documentation says it should work .. which it does if your graphics start properly .. Wayland (ubuntu install) or amd/ati cards probably nvidia too I have not tested but if using the current default netplan and i915 as module NOT listed in /etc/modules .. it does not work it crashes and locks up and only a powerswitch shutdown works .. no reset button on laptop .. no console access is available either .. so it has taken a bit of time to determine all this .. Anybody know how to fix the netplan config in a "generic way" to cure this issue? the only problem is no control over switching networks .. NetworkManager does not seem to have control over the interface started by networkd .. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821609 Title: lightdm login screen briefly appears and then blanks out on Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5870 (crash in xorg before using "foreign grub") netplan mis-configuration maybe underlying cause. Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Okay the has happened recently at least since march 18, 2019 iso and march 22, 2019 iso are both effected very similar to one of my previously reported bugs .. which was related to xorg not being installed .. back ground .. PC is lenovo sl 500 with evo860 SSD drive 3 partions contain installs of disco sda1 -- main working system -- I usually install grub from here as master .. sda6 and sda7 are test installs of disco daily iso's 03-18-2019, 03-22-2019 repectively on the test installs as long as the iso is using the grub boot loader installed from that install the system will boot normally .. the display manger tends to flicker on and off but does final start and login can proceed. but if another install re-installs grub as master the display manager fails to stay active or even come-up for sda6 or sda7 only if their own grubs are reinstalled will they work normally sda1 display manager/xorg login works always no matter which "grub- source" is in control. if I use rescue boot from any grub as master I can get the displays to work by running dpkg fix which does nothing .. and then resuming the boot .. then things work normally.. if the "non-rescue" boots are used the screen/computer locks and only a power down and reboot gives access. (sometime requiring radical depowering .. unpluging and removing battery) now the is a message that appears that RCs??? level is missing.
