We now know the fix is in v4.14-rc1. Can folks affected by this bug confirm that v4.13 final is bad? If it is, I'll start a reverse bisect between 4.13 final and v4.14-rc1.

Am running Xorg instead of MIR due to MIR crashing when I initially upgraded from 17.04 to 17.10, but that's a different problem for a different day. It's been running with Xorg stably for at least 2-3 months. If I boot with the previous kernel version on my /boot (linux- image-4.13.0-25-generic), everything works fine. If I boot with the latest mainline kernel from the Ubuntu mainline repo (4.15.0), everything works. Using grub's option to run "Recovery Mode" for the 4.13.0-32 kernel, I am able to use the CLI and access the encrypted root filesystem, which is how I generated the apport repo that's attached. It's only when telling it to continue Normal booting that it freezes, which is why I suspect the problem of being Xorg. When the system freezes, the fan starts to spin up. I cannot switch virtual consoles using CTRL-ALT-F{1-7}. CTRL-ALT-DEL pressed repeatedly doesn't do anything. To reboot, I have to hold the power button until the system powers off.
