For me the problem is kind of important, since I moved all my work to specialised Virtual Machines; a. one for the normal office and web browsing work, b. one for banking and other financial apps, c. one to try out new and unknown apps, d. one to try out Ubuntu 18.04.
The work around I use now, is: a. Peppermint 8 with 3D acceleration; b. For banking I can live with software rendering and Ubuntu 17.10; c. Xubuntu 17.10 with 3D acceleration. I would politely propose to increase the priority of the bug, since I expect, it will be relatively simple to solve. Besides a desktop that freezes, if you maximise a window, looks a little bit like the past of e.g. Ubuntu 6.06 :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748729 Title: Xorg freeze Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I run Ubuntu 18.04 in Virtualbox 5.2.6 with as host OS; Ubuntu 17.10 with the propriety Nvidia driver 340 as suggested by Ubuntu. The screen almost freezes completely as soon as I maximise any window in the guest OS Ubuntu 18.04. Any mouse click takes 10-60 seconds before the system reacts to it. It took a long time to generate this bug-report. I had the same problem with Ubuntu 17.10, while Guest OSes Ubuntu Mate 17.10, Xubuntu 17.10, and Peppermint 8. Windows 7 and 10 work without any problem. WORKAROUND: Disable 3D acceleration.
