If I boot up with two external monitors connected, the login screen doesn't show up on any monitor.
The laptop display shows the mouse cursor on a blue screen, the HDMI monitor shows a blank blue screen, and the VGA monitor shows no signal.
WORKAROUND: Use Trusty.
WORKAROUND: Boot with only one external monitor connected.

Neal McBurnett, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) As per the sticker of the monitors (not from the Bug Description, or the result of a terminal command), could you please provide the full manufacturer and model?
2) Are you using any dongles/adapters to connect to either monitor?
3) To clarify, if you boot up with nothing attach, then login, then attach both the VGA and HDMI, are you then able to configure all three screens to display the desired output while logged in?
4) Was there a release newer than Trusty, but older then Bionic where this issue wasn't reproducible?
5) Regarding desktop environment, are you presently using GNOME, Unity, etc.?
6) Could you please post the output of the following terminal command (not manually attach files):
ls -la /var/crash
