2016-02-23 01:52:51 Chris description Just tried the daily build and - as I expected, because I tried many times - if I try to use my Wacom tablet, the whole system freezes. I'm not sure what it is, maybe it gets a kernel panic or it's because X.org, but I can't even restart the session, just if I turn off my laptop by pressing the power button for seconds, because after trying to use the graphics tablet, even the mouse and keyboard are frozen. I reproduced this many times and I got the same results every single time. But this doesn't even need to be in a drawing software. If I move the pen over the tablet the whole system crashes. Of course, if I pull it out, then everything is normal, but in my opinion this is a heavily serious issue, considering that we are talking about an LTS release, which has to mean rock-solid stability over non-LTS distros. Now I'm in Linux mint, because this happens since 15.10 and Mint is the only Linux distribution which has full support for my graphics and art project workflow. Whatever they do, it just works, but Ubuntu is seriously unstable these days.
