Comment 55 for bug 1741447

I'm a newbie and after updating Ubuntu 16.04 on Jan 5, 2018, I experienced launcher disappearing when running over with mouse, windows disappearing and appearing, Dash not working and cannot shutdown. I get Internal Error Message: compiz crashed with SIGSERV. The error report incorrectly prints that I have amd64 architecture and that I have Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release amd64 (20170215.2) when I have Ubuntu 16.04.3 This result seems not to have been commented on in the previous bug #1735594.

I'm working on a Toshiba Satellite M645 laptop (2011) with an Intel Core i5 CPU, 64 bit OS and graphics is Intel Ironlake Mobile.

I'm afraid to try the ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/pkppa suggestion because I am so new to this. I installed August 2017 and had no problems until Jan 5, 2018 when using the Software Updater.

The good news is: I learned to use terminal commands and can access all the browsers, word processors, files, etc. that I have on my machine so I'm not down just inconvenienced. Thanks
