Interestingly this last reboot booted straight into the guest and lightdm (where that wm came from is beyond me!). Can't login to any wm as me though. Here's the log file error: #(EE) open /dev/fb0: permission denied# after finding correct syntax for the log file ;)

Probably worth looking for clues here:
(==) Log file: "home/ubuntu/.localshare/xorg/Xorg.1.log" time, (current time) Can we see something like: $grep -2 '(EE)' ~/.localshare/xorg/Xorg.1.log
But my guess is this problem will turn out to be about too many display managers or multiple X sessions or X fighting with wayland or whatever the ubuntu wayland-competitor was called etc. I'd be interested in seeing if any X servers are running. Maybe something like: $ps ax | grep Xorg or even $ps ax | grep X
And if you find a process running X it's probably a display manager that you aren't using, and maybe it can be shut off i.e: $sudo /etc/init.d/somedm stop The only process I could see was Xorg (from "top")
Thanks so much. I know that all the parts are there but getting them ordered seems to be the issue
