Artful Freezes.

[Hewjr100]

Tried Arful daily today. When running live system freezes when trying to open settings. First install with manual login freezes after entering password, gray screen only and no mouse. Second install with auto login, system freezes when opening settings, no mouse. i am thinking the problem might be with kernel 4.12. Any thoughts on this.

My system hasn't had a freeze in Artful , and the kernel base currently in use is 4.12.0-11-generic .

No luck here. Have tried several times and cannot get Artful to boot.

Which graphic card the system bootin' with ?

[Hewjr100]

Intel 620.

[BenginM]

That's odd! i presumed the nvidia card. Intel's GPUs usually don't have issues.

I thought you could try to load the beta1, or an alpha iso image instead of the daily build, but didn't find any as of yet. I even asked in the devs IRC channel.

Ubuntu doesn't do alpha or beta releases, it is only the flavours that do.

They do the final beta though.

No that helps at all

Have you tried switching sessions?
the default, I guess, should be wayland.
There should also be an Xorg session you can choose at the login screen (toggle the gear icon that appears when you select your username, and before you input the login password.)
(since this is an autologin, you will need to logout and select the session; though I'm not sure about how well gdm session handle autologin and logouts.
(As to whether the logout holds at the login screen or simply relogins quickly, if that makes sense)
