Fine tuning: only one extra mount is necessary .. then plymouth
finishes very quickly .. and xorg/lightdm start normally!

okay I have another solution to the timing issue .. add two partition
mounts to fstab ..
my existing sda1 disco install has /home (sda2) and /home/store1 (sda5)
mounted via fstab .. this was the original install configuration .. thus
always a mount delay ..
to test .. added the same partions to
of course the sda1 partition (on the SSD) has never failed to work properly no
matter which grub source (installs on sda1,sda6,sda7,sda8,sda9) is used
plymouth always appears when sda1 boots..
this disco version was installed jan 10 with a bootstrap log date of oct 13,
2018 .. it has been updat
okay turned back the clock .. to a spinning metal disk previously
installed in this hardware .. ran a number of test installs all work
fine .. cosmic/bionic/disco early version disco final all work boot
normally .. always ..
thus conclusion is a SSD is very fast and can respond to requests sooner
video of sda9 boot using sda9 install of grub (native grub) .. note absence of
plymouth .. flash at top edge of screen was missed .. note brief appearance of
lightdm .. short gap then lightdm reappears .. xorg.0.log.old records the
crash .. similar to others above
xorg.0.log records successful
video of sda8 non-native grub boot (a disco-xubuntu iso install) sda9
has installed grub (also a disco-xubuntu iso install ) will show in
next video uploaded
note the red flash .. plymouth attempt to start .. then cursor appears
and then lightdm briefly

I will try to do videos for you tomorrow it is getting late in the day
here ..
a brief synopsis for now ..
history: this is standard grub arrangement as "installed by default"
used to work flawlessly with multiple partitions of various linux OS's
.. It is only since early march that I noticed an
Okay, this bug has absolutely nothing to do with grub or netplan.
Changing the renderer couldn't possibly affect the behavior of X, and
the grub configuration looks, at a glace, to be run-of-the mill; pretty
much default if you disregard that there is any number of different
installs on the system.
bug is still present in disco xubuntu iso "final" 04-13.1-2019

testing xubuntu-disco-daily.iso apr 06, 2019 First boot fine plymouth,
and xorg/lightdm started normally.. did a number of updates and
rebooted.
second boot plymouth not seen, xorg/lightdm appeared briefly .. then
vanished .. then reappears ..
checked xorg.0.log(s) ..
xorg.0.log .. seemed ok .
just some summary thoughts in addition to point to some anomalies ..
the "failures in lightdm appear to correspond with shorter journal logs ..
so certain processes are not running as expected ..
plymouth also does not appear on the screen ..
as it needs the proper graphics support ..

I've been merrily switching between OS's without this kind of issue for more
than 10 years ..
the behaviour changed recently in the last 30 days ..
it was fine prior to that ..
This is a regression bug and will annoy anyone working with multiple instances
of disco xubuntu for testing..

Your setup is anything but a typical one, and bugs should not be used to
"ask" how something works the way it does. You mentioned that the
"original" disco install always works fine, so I don't think there's a
valid bug here at all?

so why the peculiar behaviour that lightdm works when the partition
installed native grub boots the system
BUT not when a grub installed by another partition is used then lightdm
consistently crashes and the machine locks up..
BUT if i915 is added to /etc/modules in the offending partition it all
i915 is loaded just fine on your first journal log:
Mar 25 23:26:06 zlink2 kernel: [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20181204 for
:00:02.0 on minor 0
but it's happening after lightdm is started, so I'd say it's lightdm
which is just being too hasty
** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
Statu
a little digging and plymouth is supposed to work with drm modesetting
drivers which means i915 has to be loaded for it to work .. so not
seeing it means ..some hardware detection has failed .. is that part of
plymouth or something else?
since it works on the upgraded install on sda1 I suspect a c
Kernel module will load if added to /etc/ modules .. I have my sda1
partition running kernel 5.0.0-8.9 as are the iso's tested recently .. my
sda1 partition loads i915 without using /etc/modules.. I notice that the
recent isos do not show Plymouth progress screen at startup..is that
relevant?

If you're sure that's the problem then we would need to figure out which
kernel version it started in. Please try some different kernel versions:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D
and see if you can find the two closest versions where one doesn't have
the bug and the other
31 matches
