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.. yes

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? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

okay generated the default grub.cfg via sda6 grub-install boot instance .. vt.handle=1 is set by default for self root boot about a minute to boot no change .. still no plymouth on boot but there is a flicker with lightdm .. which restarts once video mode switch has happened .. note all grub

here is the journalctl boot log for sda6 /zlink4 booted by it's own install of grub (self grub) (it was reinstalled for this purpose .. to show it works .. however plymouth does not show on the screen at all on boot but does on shutdown ) now one change is addition of a vt.handoff=1 to the end
