It sounds like the kernel is ruled out as the cause of this bug. The bug still happens with Xenial and 4.10 based kernels on Artful and the bug didn't happen on Zesty or Xenial prior to upgrading to Artful. This indicates something outside of the kernel.

I tried to setup lightdm/gdm3 with no success. However when setting up lightdm I can access to a tty and login. The file system for some weird reason becomes read-only. If I plug the power chord and I reboot everything works fine. Lightdm comes up or gdm3 comes up depending on the setup that I made.
