I tested the current live image you suggested via USB drive. I had to enable additional package repos and install google-chrome-stable. I did not add the Dell Xenial/Zesty repos, as I was not sure those are required with the newer Zesty kernel. I also could not add the Dell Xenial/Zesty repos and reboot to have them properly loaded. The USB drive has some file persistence, but not when dealing with system files. Any package installs/updates were lost upon reboot.
I did not experience the issue running the current Zesty live image, but I'm also not sure the latest intel drivers were being used. If live image customization is something you think I should use, I can go that route. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666994 Title: Screen flicker on Dell XPS 13 9360 Developer Edition Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I get a periodic screen flicker across the top of the screen when using the mouse in that area.
