Thanks for the questions 1) Removing the kernel parameter causes the same problem (plus, shutdown doesn't work.)
2) I cannot take the graphics card out of the laptop, but I uninstalled the nouveau package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. This may have improved things; see below! 3) This is on a fresh install of 17.10 on a freshly partitioned/formatted disk. 4) When I log in to an Xorg session (after removing the nouveau xorg driver,) the desktop takes a long time to appear. The computer is largely unresponsive to mouse/keyboard for many seconds, then becomes responsive for a second, then goes unresponsive again; this repeats a few times, before the desktop entirely locks up (and a SSH shell also is locked up at that point.) However, pointing on the touchscreen will move the cursor in this state; moving the touchpad does not move the cursor, and nothing can be clicked/interacted with. Regarding 2) after logging into a default session (Wayland,) with the nouveau Xorg driver removed, but the nouveau kernel module still loaded (despite blacklisting,) it has not crashed my desktop yet. vainfo seems to think that I have accelerated video decoding, and glxgears runs at 60 fps in full screen, so perhaps this is a workaround? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748511 Title: Xorg crash Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Shortly after logging in for the first time, the screen goes black, and after a little while, I'm back at the login screen.
