This is an unsupported release now. Please think to install the next LTS 'Bionic 18.04'

Ok, let's pretend that if I reconfirm this bug for some other release this issue would be solved.

Even for a LTS version, you just need to stall a little longer and eventually the bug woudl be "Invalid" again because again so much time passed that the original reported Ubuntu version has reached EOL.

I won't waste any more of my time reporting bugs to Canonical. Lesson learned. Bye.

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage.

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04?
