I agree with Kai-Heng. 17.04 is getting old and given all the good
work that went into the 17.10 release, I recommend you switch to it
Hagen.

BTW, in 17.10, there is a problem on the XPS 15
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1718936) booting
from live CD and general use. You need nouveau.modeset=0 to the kernel
boot options.

As I was not able to login to my computer I am writing this bug report while it runs on kernel 4.10.0-21-generic. Therefore the information attached through the "ubuntu-bug linux" command here, are referring to the kernel that is actually working. I decided to nonetheless include that information as it might contain other kernel unrelated information that would help you troubleshooting.
