Here's the lightdm.log of the system run with the package version that prevents booting to Desktop. Note that it shows that it permanently retries starting lightdm until the user has had enough and reboots or powers off the system (hence the section at the end that looks different). **

For comparision, here's my lightdm.log with the previous package version where it boots to Desktop successfully. ** Attachment added: "lightdm.log of succeeding run (xubuntu-default-settings 18.04.1)"

Note that on my personal laptop, there's a difference in the Xorg.0.log regarding the detection of the NVidia gfx board, the failing run using xubuntu-default-settings package version 18.04.2 and the succeeding run using version 18.04.1: $ diff -u <( sed -e 's/^\[[^]]*\] //'

Public bug reported: Upon upgrading the package from version 18.04.1 to 18.04.2 and subsequent reboot, the system is rendered unable to start lightdm and gets stuck in an endless loop retrying. This happened on 2 laptops, one company machine and one personal machine. I'm running bionic beaver

I think there is a better solution (involving disabling recordfail in the affected cases, which is LVM for me). I believe that the correct thing to use to check for LVM or RAID is grub-probe's abstraction target. This returns a list of possible abstractions below the filesystem level (or an empty

@wiley.coyote: I wrote the patch to err on the conservative side, so I deliberately avoided matching for *$check_abstraction*, so if grub- probe spat out (contrived example) a list of braid ponytail, it would not accidentally match on *raid*. So it seems that for you, grub-probe
