First of all, I want to thank the moderator for accepting my post. klricks, your explanation of the execute confirmation was spot on without being verbose. nielgl subtly pointed out that just because a script runs manually does not mean it will run in all situations. thagrol, your guide is amazing and your log script worked fantastic. This forum is lucky to have you. Thank You all.
I am dumb. i was trying for less TMI but I realize someone else may be doing the same thing I am doing. Here is the full monty.

The log varies from boot to boot.
Something is amiss with rc.local.
user@raspberrypi:~ $ ls -l /etc/rc.local
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 486 Apr 7 22:15 /etc/rc.local
thagrol's log script failed to generate a log during reboot.
I am a dumbhead, but I get the vibe that rc.local is an "orphaned" file and is no longer used by the PI5 operating system.
I switched to .bashrc based on thagrol's guide and the above log pops up at reboot but still no output.
I run the script manually, runs very slow and glitchy.
As you can guess, the output is to the terminal window, so I am running two instances of 4K video bringing everything to a standstill.
The $64,000 question, how do I get VLC out of the terminal window and display overtly on the desktop?
