I have tested the suggested workarounds that were given with comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1697556/comments/9 in conjunction with kernel 4.10.0-24. Those two workarounds basically suggest not to use the nouveau driver but instead the Nvidia drivers.
Those workarounds do not work. When the Nvidia driver is configured and the machine booted by using kernel 4.10.0-24, the computer freezer just before the login window. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697556 Title: Computer freezes after login - 4.10.0-22-generic Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have got a new Ubuntu 17.04 install on a Dell XPS 15 (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz) that was installed a couple of days ago. Login worked fine too. A couple of days later I installed the suggested kernel update "4.10.0-22-generic". With kernel 4.10.0-22-generic, the computer freezes right after login (i.e. after pressing enter, the background image with the mouse is shown, no responses to any key strokes).

XPS 15 9560/05FFDN, BIOS 1.3.3 05/08/2017 Note, this problem is observed with kernel 4.10.0-22-generic whereas it's not observed with 4.10.0-21-generic. As I was not able to login to my computer I am writing this bug report while it runs on kernel 4.10.0-21-generic. Therefore the information attached through the "ubuntu-bug linux" command here, are referring to the kernel that is actually working. I decided to nonetheless include that information as it might contain other kernel unrelated information that would help you troubleshooting.
