My update came through on Thursday night and it won't boot.
Running Xenial 16.04.3 LTS and updated to 4.13.0-29-generic via SOFTWARE UPDATES and machine will no longer boot. Had to roll back to 4.13.0-26-generic.
Anyone else have this issue with *-29...
Yeah, I decided to go with 16.04 for stability and support. Plus, it's using the HWE kernel anyway. Thanks

No. It is very likley that your USB 3.0 ports are fully working. Your WD drive is likely using firmware/hardware that is not USB 3.0 compliant. To check this, try inserting a SANDISK or KINGSTON...

Hello,
Now that Yakkety Yak is released, will the kernels (4.8.x) be available to install on Xenial? If so, do I need to add a repo?
Thanks
Hello,
Does anyone have experience with DisplayLink & 16.04 for a USB 3.0 universal docking station? If so, does it "all" work, or is it still sketchy? I'm using a System76 Lemur6 laptop -...
