Neal McBurnett, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) As per the sticker of the monitors (not from the Bug Description, or the result of a terminal command), could you please provide the full manufacturer and model? 2) Are you using any dongles/adapters to connect to either monitor? 3) To clarify, if you boot up with nothing attach, then login, then attach both the VGA and HDMI, are you then able to configure all three screens to display the desired output while logged in? 4) Was there a release newer than Trusty, but older then Bionic where this issue wasn't reproducible? 5) Regarding desktop environment, are you presently using GNOME, Unity, etc.? 6) Could you please post the output of the following terminal command (not manually attach files): ls -la /var/crash ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773850 Title: No login prompt when booting bionic with both hdmi and vga monitor Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm running bionic on a Lenovo X230 laptop. It works fine to boot it with either my hdmi monitor or my VGA monitor. It also works to attach the VGA monitor after booting and logging in with the HTMI monitor. But if both are connected while I boot, the graphical login prompt never appears, and just the mouse appears in the laptop window on a blue screen, with the HDMI monitor showing a blank blue screen, and the VGA monitor getting no signal. This monitor configuration worked fine with this computer in Trusty. I ran apport-bug to report the problem, and chose the first option: "Display (X.org)". I'm not positive what I'm running, but note that after booting and getting both monitors plugged in and running after login, I see both an Xwayland process and an Xorg process. I suggest also changing apport-bug to appropriately reflect that wayland is somehow involved, and I hope that the included debug info will include any appropriate wayland info. I note that it does seem to be possible to get some info via `apport-bug xwayland`.
