About a week ago, I installed various system updates, including a package called intel-microcode. After rebooting, I discovered that I was unable to get past the login screen (i.e. I would login and then immediately be taken back to the login screen).
This had actually also happened a few weeks prior, and it turned out to be my older graphics drivers not playing nicely with Intel's/Canonical's Meltdown/Spectre mitigation updates. Updating the drivers in that case fixed the problem.
However, now my system is completely up-to-date and I haven't received any package updates to fix the issue in several days. I am running kernel 4.13.0-32-generic and the intel-microcode package is version 3.20180108.0+really20170707ubuntu16.04.1.
Is there an update coming soon? Or is there a way for me to revert the package back to a version that lets me login to my computer?
