I've encountered this bug on the past TWO kernel updates of my Xubuntu 16.04.4 (now .5) system that uses an Nvidia card. Initially I found that falling back to the previous kernel was a satisfactory workaround. This morning, I tried using the "Additional drivers" system setting to change from the Nvidia driver to the noveau driver -- and that has worked perfectly so far. This might be a possible recommended solution. I had originally switched from noveau to the proprietary driver because noveau didn't work properly, but that was several years ago and it has obviously gotten much metter!
