I can't follow the above instruction, since before that date (6/5/18) I have turned off all options in X-Diagnose, and the system boots every time now.
BUT : 1) The boot process is now verbose, despite turning off all options, and I can't change this back to quiet, which could produce the problem again. 2) Occasionally upon reboot after a new kernel is installed, the system comes up in Ambiance theme, where I had it in Adwatia. To get it back is not straighforward, I must either reboot into straight Ubuntu (not Gnome Flashback) and reset it, or cycle through the options a few times until it sticks.

I can tell it to use Default setting from the options it offers, and get by it, after which things look and work normally until a reboot, which may or may not occur correctly. I also usually get "System error detected, Report? at the same time, so I agree to report it.
