Regardless, i've had a lot of instability ever since installing artful; to me that suggests a kernel issue. Although lots of applications crash for no discernible reason with nothing in the logs to suggest why, and no pattern at all. Doing a clean install didn't help matters, although it was necessary, my system was bricked by one of the crashes. Ubuntu bug doesn't work correctly, at all. I selected "other problem" and it brought up display issues; then brought of a dialog titled "text" with the message "text" and asked me yes or no, i selected no, and that didn't seem to matter. I selected that i didn't know if i could provide more information, and in the report it listed that as willing to do something with git, etc. It would be much easier to report bugs, if the bug reporter worked correctly, for instance. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Sat Oct 28 23:18:52 2017 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: artful DistroVariant: kubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, including running git bisection searches GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
