Hi,
After upgrading from version 17.something to 18.04, I had the following issues.
I could not log in to X11 as gdm kept crashing. I have an ASUS N53SV laptop, with dual nvidia/intel optimus graphics. I tried installing lightdm, but that refused to authenticate.
Finally I removed bumblebee and all nvidia packages, and it allows login. I am unsure what causes the conflict. I am not planning to use the nvidia graphics for a while, so I am moving on. But I thought I would report the problem.
The other problem I am having is a concern, as I wish to use blender. (I can always compile it from source though, but something I would rather avoid) The binary has two failed library dependencies:
$ ldd /usr/bin/blender | grep found
libvpx.so.3 => not found
libva-drm.so.1 => not found
The file libvpx.so.5 is installed, but not version 3. I have not looked at the libva-drm.so.1 issue.
Some details about my system may be relevant. It is a 64 bit system.
$ cat /etc/lsb-release

Linux Jupiter 4.15.0-33-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 16:00:05 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Although the install certainly did not run smoothly, eventually I got it to a state where apt/dpkg thinks all is ok.
