A tale of ordinary folk - just users. We have 4 systems running 17.04 - 3 xubuntu and 1 ubuntu. 3 are fine. Now one regularly locks up and has to be manually rebooted. The other 3 are fine. I initially reported against #1687267, (now marked as a duplicate of this) including a crash log.
The desktop that crashes is a 5 year old Dell used by my non-IT partner. This situation is quite impossible for her to tolerate. We have never, ever, had a problem like this before. SHe is now suggesting reverting to Windows, having never had such failures with that (nor have I in the last 10 or more years). Fortunately there was a 16.10 kernel left after upgrading - 4.8.0-51 and by using Grub-customizer I managed to make this the default kernel. Whether it is truly OK with 17.04 I don't know, but so far so good. Having always told my partner to do updates, I now have to tell her not to, because 4.10.0-21 just landed and changed the boot order. If ubuntu (etc) is ever to be a normal desktop of choice for normal users, regular crashes of this nature have to be fixed ASAP. This one is now almost 2 months old. I've tripped over similar crash reports not (yet) marked as a duplicate (eg #1686727) and this problem may be even more widespread than people realise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1674838 Title: kernel BUG at /build/linux- 7LGLH_/linux-4.10.0/include/linux/swapops.h:129 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1674838/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
