On Dell Inspiron 1525 auto upgraded from xubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit to 18.04 LTS. This bug appeared.

Then tried clean install of Xubuntu 18.04.1 The bug appeared from moment of boot of cd. Bug present also in Ubuntu 18.04.1

Grub edit of Video=SVIDEO-1:d works.

As a committed Ubuntu fan of years going on decades, I cannot adequately express my strong disapointment that a bug serious enough to prevent effective installation for many users remains on a live LTS distro some 6 months after release even after revision to 18.04.1 I was able to fix it, (sudo edit of grub) but most affected users would be unable to and simply walk away. How many people walked and therefore never escalated this bug because they never got far enough to be able to?? Come on development team! Please remember that Ubuntu is supposed to be about ease of use and the users!!! Should do better....
