Bug Description
Symptoms:
On login, the desktop takes a long time to load, and when it does, everything blinks. It is possible (but difficult) to open a terminal and execute commands, through the right-click desktop menu.
I first noticed the issue in mid-July of 2018.
System:
Acer 5100
Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)
Graphics card: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS482M [Mobility Radeon Xpress 200]
Believed to be mesa-related, as symptoms very similar to bug #1741447 and #1735594. I have been informed by a mesa developer that my issue is different because that bug affects Intel GPUs. This system has a Radeon GPU.
Log files are as attached to bug #1795709. That bug was declared invalid by Apport because it says I don't have the necessary debug packages installed. However, I could not find the debug packages in the repository, so that is why I am submitting this report manually.
Many thanks for any help.
