| Were you affected by this bug affecting Ubuntu 4.18 kernel:

Thanks for passing that on.  There's a good chance that that is Clive's 
problem.

That bug report is really incomplete:

	that update introduced a regression that could prevent systems with 
	certain graphics chipsets from booting

You'd think that they could spell out which graphics chipsets were 
involved.  That sure would help people decide if they are victims of this 
bug.

They don't even point at a description of the actual bug or the patch that 
fixes it.  Sheesh.

They go into detail about the things that the broken update actually 
fixed, which really isn't relelvant since it was already fixed and the 
current fix doesn't change that.
