Subject: Problems with Ubuntu 18.10

 

Hello

 

I had a problem with my recent Ubuntu 18.10 install which I thought that I
should share. I was running Ubuntu 18.04 on an older Pentium (R)Dual Core
CPU E5200 with 4 gigs of ram and things went well. About 2 months ago, I
noticed that there was an Ubuntu 18.10 so I thought that I would give it a
try. So I downloaded Ubuntu 18.10 with kernel 4.18.0.10 and it worked well
with all my machine learning stuff (Anaconda3, etc.). About 2 weeks ago,
Ubuntu informed me that I had a kernel update so I downloaded the update
(kernel 4.18.0.14) and tried to install it. Couldn't get past the boot
screen, so I reinstalled 4.18.0.10 but right away I was informed of the
waiting update. I googled the issue and the only comment that made sense was
to block Wayland being loaded and instead default to Xorg by adjust
custom.conf  \etc\gdm3. That made no difference to my situation as described

 

After about a week of tearing my hair, I gave up and went back to Ubuntu
18.04 LTS, and am just sharing this in the event that any of you have had a
similar experience with Ubuntu 18.10 (in my case - desktop).

 

Please feel free to comment
