[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1733557] Re: Login screen showing Authentication Failed Switch to greeter...
My issues began shortly after upgrading from 16.10 -> 17.10. Most of my issues related to graphical components so perhaps it was related to the switch to Wayland? ...as for a fix - I ended up reformatting my machine with a fresh 17.10. Haven't seen any of the issues since.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1733318] Re: Displays -> Could not get screen information
Steps to reproduce: - Navigate to: - System Settings... - Devices - Displays Expected behaviour - The display configuration options are shown Actual behaviour - The following message is shown: "Could not get screen information" If there's any additional system settings or logs you need let me know. I've noticed a whole host of problems since upgrading to 17.10. Most of them relating to graphical elements E.g. Dragging windows would sometimes cause my session to reboot. My Evolution mail client continually crashed (I had to uninstall it). Just this morning I encountered a new issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1733557 I've made no manual changes to an of the core settings/packages on Ubuntu (freshly installed 6 months ago). If there's any steps you'd like me to try, let me know. At this point I had resigned myself to reformatting my machine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1733318 Title: Displays -> Could not get screen information Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After suffering a login-loop bug (which I fixed with "mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.bak") my screen settings disappeared.
