I've been having a problem with my desktop session dying: describe in this thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....9756&p=1379652

This thread suggest the problem is with the 4.15 and 4.16 kernels: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=235027

This problem did not exist with 16.04.x

I do use ubuntu packaged zfs.

Is there an easy way to downgrade the kernel without reinstalling 16.04 ?

It's relatively straight-forward installing a different kernel: How to update kernel to the latest mainline version without any Distro-upgrade?

4.14.67.png

The latest kernel in the 4.14.xx chain is 4.14.67.

That said I've found kernel chain 4.13.0-xx-generic which Ubuntu maintains very stable compared to the 4.15.00-xx-generic kernel chain Ubuntu maintains. The advantage of staying on a Ubuntu kernel chain is it is automatically upgraded for you when new versions come out.

When you are on the 4.14.xx LTS Linux Kernel Chain you must periodically review when new kernels come out and install the new ones manually using the above link.

I ended up fixing the issue via buying a cheap amd gpu. Kind of cheap but easier than dealing with the rest of the crap.
