If there's any additional system settings or logs you need let me know.
I've noticed a whole host of problems since upgrading to 17.10. Most of them relating to graphical elements

E.g.
Dragging windows would sometimes cause my session to reboot.
My Evolution mail client continually crashed (I had to uninstall it).
Just this morning I encountered a new issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1733557

I've made no manual changes to an of the core settings/packages on Ubuntu (freshly installed 6 months ago).

If there's any steps you'd like me to try, let me know. At this point I had resigned myself to reformatting my machine.
