sony vaio svp112a1cw (i5-9400u, 4gb, intel haswell-ULT)
(restarting test, my entry of my name & hostname was having wrong letters appear, like I'd incorrectly set non-english keyboard; assuming it was my user-error)
not connecting internet; offline install
no reoccurrence of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1897991
install completed
On first reboot, bootup is not as expected.
First message is at least two lines, first being
"System Bootloader not found. Initializing defaults"
"Creating Boot Entry BOOT0000..."
Second line relates to the reconstruction of bootloader but it's too quick for me to recall/type..
This is followed by of flashing between FSCK like screen & VAIO logo, many times and looks like it's having issues, or a 'fight'?
once DM/greeter appears, the session is as expected. ctrl+alt+T and terminal & all disk space utilized and system looks as expected, install appears good now.
On second boot, the "System Bootloader not found... (error continues again I'm not quick enough)" but it's NOT followed by he flashing FSCK/VAIO screen this time..
DM/greeter has appeared, HOWEVER no background logo, characters at top are just BOXES. Once I'm logged in all looks good though again??!!
Third boot and different behavior again (boot & DM/greeter), more normal than 2nd time... but 3 boots have resulted in 3 different behaviors at the greeter/DM & not what I except from a Xubuntu install. Once logged in all looks okay again.
Fourth boot, and back to black screen at greeter/DM, BOXES instead of charaters again in the top panel... This issue has to be related to Xubuntu software and not installer is my feeling
