Comment 9 for bug 1670089

Hi Jeremey,

Thanks for proposing possible solutions. I tried number 1, Sharing was enabled with only Remote Desktop set to On. I disabled sharing altogether and it seemed to have worked for two days and on the third day it started again.

I did try number two on day 3, but never rebooted. Unfortunately, I had a power failure in the area and my motherboard is now fried, so I am unable to confirm if number two works correctly. I'll let you know later in the week once I'm up and running again.

Regarding LP: #1559576, yes it's installed (I believe this got pulled in recently as a dependency on gnome-shell):

xserver-xorg-legacy:
  Installed: 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.2
  Candidate: 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.2
  Version table:
 *** 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.2 500
        500 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2:1.18.3-1ubuntu2 500
        500 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages

Let me see if the Nvidia driver works now. I am using my work laptop until my main machine is fixed (that's the one that generated this bug report). Also, let me know if you want me to help you with some Nvidia and GNOME related bugs this week.

Thanks
