Public bug reported:

Hi,

I am currently running in a severe problem with ubuntu's Xorg-Server,
which might affect virtually all servers.

I yesterday installed a new machine with Lubuntu 16.04.2. Worked
perfectly out of the box.

I then did an apt ugrade, and since then the X11-server completely
ignored mouse and keyboard, was not usable (except from that machine was
in good health).


I found the solution here:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/891670/how-to-fix-input-devices-after-
xserver-xorg-core-upgrade

It just took a


apt install xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-input-all-hwe-16.04
/etc/init.d/lightdm restart

to fix the problem.


But then, today, after another apt upgrade, the problem occured again,
and I have to apply the fix again. The packages install yesterday seem
to have been thrown out by some conflict between xorg packages.


It's a severe problem, if a simple apt upgrade renders the machine
unusable, the average user might not be able to fix that or even login
into the machine anymore.


Obviously there is a dependency-problem, which causes severe trouble. I
am currently too busy to investigate this any deeper, but it really
breaks the system for average users.

regards
