Public bug reported: Crash occurs every time when booting from Xubuntu 18.04 installation stick and choosing "Install Xubuntu". Shortly after selecting "Install Xubuntu", the installer is started, the installation screen is visible for a few seconds, then the display quickly blanks and drops the user into a frozen view of the virtual terminal. Shortly thereafter, a Xubuntu session is automatically started, similarly to having chosen "Try Xubuntu without installing". Executing "Install Xubuntu" from the desktop does successfully start the ubiquity installer.
Verifying the installation logs under /var/log/installer shows Xorg as having crashed with error: xf860OpenConsole: Switching VT failed ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-13.14-generic 4.15.10 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/boot.log' CasperVersion: 1.393 CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Fri Apr 13 05:42:46 2018 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: bionic DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520 [8086:1916] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] [8086:2063] LiveMediaBuild: Xubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Alpha amd64 (20180411) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 045e:00cb Microsoft Corp.
