(Get the code!)
I can confirm I have what I believe to be this bug in 16.04. All packages updated to current. Have also downloaded latest 16.04 LTS release .iso and run it off a USB drive. Same symptoms.
Originally, the issue was confined to Firefox, which crashed on many websites. The error related to "r300_dri.so". I disabled WebGL and this fixed the problem. However, as of mid-July, I have the same problems as other users (flashing icons at login, etc.). My logs tell me I installed a mesa update on 15/07/18.
Acer 5100
Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)
Graphics card: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS482M [Mobility Radeon Xpress 200]
I have tried to force a version downgrade of libgl1-mesa-dri in Synaptic, but the only option it gives me is a really old version - I just want to roll back to, say, February. Newbie, so don't want to play around too much and break stuff.
Many thanks to the developers - hopefully you can help.
