Now that you remind me, I have not had this issue with either 16.04 or 
18.04 in several days., running both on this old laptop.

Thanks

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu 17.10
  Release:      17.10

  Upgraded from 17.04 today.

  Steps to reproduce:

  - Start the PC or log out/end session in case it's running with an Xorg 
desktop already.
  - Attempt to log in, using 'Ubuntu'

  Expected to happen:

  Desktop appears.

  Actually happening:

  5 seconds of black screen, then the login screen appears again.

  Partial diagnosis:

  - Logging in using 'Ubuntu on Xorg' works fine and as expected.

  - Extracted a syslog of such a failed attempt, see attached file.
