Comment 2 for bug 1735088

Had to boot to 4.10.0.42 or 4.14.0-11 to get command to run. Issue seen on both 4.13.0-17-generic and 4.13.0-19-generic.

Another issue that accompanied this issue was that after updating to 17.10 PC would no longer reboot or shutdown. Updating kernel manually to 4.14.0-11 and manually booting to 4.14.0-11 linux-image resolved issue. I was then able to install software needed, update-initramfs, boot, and reboot normally. Currently running with 17.10 package set and newer kernel.
