Public bug reported: The only thing that affects if creating a second X session will succeed on this 18.04 installation is the kernel version that's loaded. On 4.15 everything works perfectly but on 5.0 second X session fails to start and brings down existing session with it because of systemd rules for SDDM.
Adding relevant Xorg.log files and journal output for systemd and sddm with cleaned timestamps for ease of comparison.
