Comment 9 for bug 1764087

Hello Chris,
Writing to you direct rather than through the bug - hope you don't mind.
I too had my first failure today using the new kernel, manifesting itself
in the same way.
It's getting a bit tiresome now and I have little faith in it being
corrected. I have spent quite a bit of time researching the issue and
trying a few things out to no avail. There are other things needing my
attention just now.
So, it was always in my plans to install 18.04 LTS at some stage. Rather
than do a fresh install of 16.04 LTS which I had thought was a way of
hopefully overcoming the problem, I may as well go for 18.04 LTS.
I just need to plan things out so that I manage to safely backup my
documents and all my settings (I have very low vision and my settings are
important to me). The planning and preparation in itself will take some
time.
When I get round to it I will let you know how things go.
Best Regards
Dave
