After installing dconf-editor (via "Software") the standby/sleep function malfunctions, specifically when trying to come out of standby/sleep. I put my laptop to sleep by pressing the power button, and then wake it up again by pressing the power button. However, when I try to wake it up it is not possible to unlock it: roughly every second, whatever I have typed into the password field gets cleared out as if I had submitted it by pressing the return key, but unfortunately 1 second is not enough time to type in the password completely so it's impossible to unlock it again. Occasionally, when I pressed the Cancel button the GUI would close and I would be presented with the command line which would fill up with lines saying:
EXT4-fs error (device sda5): ext4_find_
EXT4-fs error (device sda5): ext4_find_
EXT4-fs error (device sda5): ext4_find_
EXT4-fs error (device sda5): ext4_find_
These lines are then repeated ad infinitum.
I uninstalled dconf-editor and rebooted and the problem went away. I re-installed dconf-editor and there was still no problem. I then rebooted and that is when the problem resurfaced. I am using a clean install of Ubuntu 17.10 I believe the only other packages I have installed are gparted, net-tools and ethtool. My set-up is fairly unusual: I am using a Toshiba Satellite L50T-a-145 laptop. It has no hard drive and I have installed Ubuntu to a 128GB USB 3.0 Lexar S3 JumpDrive.
