Bug Description
I can manually start lightdm, and that will give me a login screen,
Unfortunately, most of the desktop environments crash after login.
Only plasma gives me a little bit of clients, though even plasma complains
All shell packages missing
And
Vboxclient warning
Under 17.10, I successfully used Wayland
WORKAROUND: Use GNOME Flashback (Metacity).

Kevin Dalley, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) Regarding non-default kernel boot parameter i915.i915_ enable_ rc6=1 is this required? If you remove it, how does it affect this issue?
2) After you login, are there crash files in the /var/crash folder?
3) To confirm, if you install gnome-session- flashback and login to it does this provide a WORKAROUND?
4) Do you have any self-compiled/ unsupported software installed?
