Reporting a bug in this case would mean contacting the PPA maintainer
indicating the package and software it installs makes the system
unbootable.PPAs are considered untrusted third party repositories so you use
them at your own risk for the most part. They are not maintained by Ubuntu
Developers or Ubuntu dev teams and can introduce all sorts of problems on their
own.Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S9+.

Installing KiCad makes Ubuntu 18.04
unbootable I finally figured out how to use the Ubuntu Live USB stick and get
a command prompt and ran e2fsck -fcck /dev/sda1 and found some badblocks but
even after doing this, Ubuntu became unbootable after installing KiCad. I
installed 18.04 again by choosing "dual boot" or something like that that made
me make a 2nd partition of the disk. I installed 18.04 on it and installed
restricted-codecs (forgot to click on the button for the codex on the USB
install). I installed Slack and rebooted and powered off numerous times with
the installation on the new partition and it was working great!!Then I
installed KiCad usingsudo apt install kicadsudo apt-get updatesudo apt install
kicad??This produced a useless schematic editor. The "crosshair" cursor tracks
all over the schematic and you cannot find esp8266, CP2102 or other stuff. will
need to purge this and do the full install.sudo apt purge kicadTo do a "full
install", whatever that means, you need to do sudo add-apt-repository --yes
ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1sudo apt updatesudo apt install --install-suggests
kicadI tested the app and it worked great. Then I restarted laptop and got the
dreaded flickering ubuntu logo (blank screen->ubuntu loading logo -> blank
screen etc) and it would never stop flashing.-- Ubuntu-quality mailing
