Comment 22 for bug 1758009

Post #20 worked for me. Thanks Ruslan. Had to move important config files back into .config later. Nothing else I tried worked after searching forums for hours and trying their suggestions.

Why didn't Ubuntu issue an improvement to the offending software that it provided in a routine update? This sort of major meltdown occurred in 2016 in my 14.04 system, just before 16.04 was to be released. Is there a connection? Are the best developers busy with the new releases, which are supposed to take care of such problems? If so, then the LTS versions are really only good for 2 years, not the stated 5 years.
