OK, that seems to have worked with the apport, as far as I can tell. I tried it without first having logged on to Launchpad, via terminal and the apport command, which opened up the web browser asking me to log in, but then it couldn't send the apport, it seems. So I did the "apport-collect 1896378" command in terminal again, and then it looks like it did send.
So, I did have to try that command twice before it sent an apport. You didn't tell me I had to be logged onto Launchpad first, and the command brought up the correct internet webpage asking me to log on, but then wouldn't go through with the apport. To know what happened I had to actually copy the whole statement from terminal onto a libre word document, reboot the laptop (I was in the kernel with the bug) and in going to the kernel that didn't have the bug could read that there was an error in connecting to launchpad. I then tried the whole process again, as I described prior, and it seems to have worked. And I see that how to find the package is listed here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage Thanks for your beautiful work keeping Ubuntu going! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1896378 Title: xubuntu kernel causes rectangular screen fluttering Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I had the same problem, exactly the same look with the latest kernel, of Xubuntu18 and also I tried UbuntuBudgie18, and both did the same. On my laptop (NC8000) the screen looks like someone has disrupted the pixels with little rectangular stuff. I had to go back a kernel via Grub and advanced options before I could read properly anything on the screen. And yes, I have just two 32 bit computers, although I also have 64 bit. But both 32 bit ones with the newest kernels for xubuntu or Budgie mess up the screen, and the kernel before that doesn't. I imagine that’s the case with all of the newer kernels with Kubuntu, Lubuntu etc.. And the kernels are 5.0.037 which works. And 5.0.047 which has the distortion shared. here is the lshw -c video listings for the laptop (32 bit) *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: RV350/M10 / RV360/M11 [Mobility Radeon 9600 (PRO) / 9700] vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
