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 ..

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.
