Xubuntu 23.10 "Mantic Minotaur" - Daily amd64 (20230829)

I'm on my primary box now (dell optiplex 7050) which uses Secure-uEFI
boot, and this install was last made after a problem during the mantic
cycle that caused 2 of my 5 screens to go dark (be it installed system
or LIVE boots). When the live boots no longer had an issue, but it had
remained on my installed system & I was unable to work out why; I just
non-destructively re-installed the system as fix.

FYI:  This system is a single-partition install (plus ESP), being
installed using a testcase that didn't create a separate /home.  Xubuntu
used `ubiquity` when I re-installed using daily 2023-08-29, ie. fix my
issue & a QA install.

Whilst I sometimes disable secure-boot (virtualbox is easier) the
machine is still uEFI & I use it regularly there in QA too (mostly
Xubuntu, with calamares).


Personally I'd prefer the boot as 'non-ideal' as the passwd/sudo issue can be 
easily resolved & just documentation suggesting FORMAT is used.  The loss of 
this re-install feature (something I've always loved about Ubuntu, and 
regularly use) would be a large loss, esp. on a LTS release.
