Please test xserver from ppa:canonical-x/x-staging It has a patch where the server should fall back to using fb instead of crashing. You need to uninstall x-x-v-intel and then log out and back in, before seeing if it works or not.

I installed GRML , copied Ubuntu 19.04 iso to the grml folder in boot directory and then updated grub. Restarted the computer and on booting the ISO no login screen appeared. However,after pressing alt + ctrl + F2, logging in at command prompt,updating apt and installing "xserver-xorg-video-intel, lightdm, and unity" I was able to get to the desktop by running the command 'sudo service lightdm start'. Command 'startx and X" gave xorg error saying server could not be connected. Command "sudo service gdm(3) start' went back to command prompt ($). This was also observed in Kubuntu and Xubuntu. In Xubuntu after installing intel video driver and running startx command i was able to get to the desktop. Whether, "xserver-xorg-video-intel" package is not being installed by default in ubuntu or support for "intel core2duo processor" has been withdrawn.
