Hello Bryce, I ran the apport command and sent the logs; I am perfectly willing to try this on the next Ubuntu version, as this is just my home server, and there is nothing critical running on it. One thing I should mention, though, is that I did have a problem with the modesetting, this crashed the system, and I could only resolve it by loading the i915 module with 'modeset-0'. Following some leads in the forums and on the web, I added a file in /etc/modprobe.d:
r...@foxfire:/etc/modprobe.d# cat i915-kms.conf options i915 modeset=0 After this the crashes went away. For this, I didn't matter whether gdm was running or not.
