A tale of ordinary folk - just users.

We have 4 systems running 17.04 - 3 xubuntu and 1 ubuntu.  3 are fine.
Now one regularly locks up and has to be manually rebooted. The other 3
are fine. I initially reported against #1687267, (now marked as a
duplicate of this) including a crash log.

The desktop that crashes is a 5 year old Dell used by my non-IT partner.
This situation is quite impossible for her to tolerate.  We have never,
ever, had a problem like this before.  SHe is now suggesting reverting
to Windows, having never had such failures with that (nor have I in the
last 10 or more years).

Fortunately there was a 16.10 kernel left after upgrading - 4.8.0-51 and
by using Grub-customizer I managed to make this the default kernel.
Whether it is truly OK with 17.04 I don't know, but so far so good.

Having always told my partner to do updates, I now have to tell her not
to, because 4.10.0-21 just landed and changed the boot order.

If ubuntu (etc) is ever to be a normal desktop of choice for normal
users, regular crashes of this nature have to be fixed ASAP.  This one
is now almost 2 months old.  I've tripped over similar crash reports not
(yet) marked as a duplicate (eg #1686727) and this problem may be even
more widespread than people realise.
