When I upgrade to the latest kernel (i.e. install linux-XXX-4.15.0.44 with XXX=image, headers, modules and modules-extra), my laptop cannot boot ubuntu with the WD15 dock plugged in. It boots normally without WD15, can use normally a USB-C memory stick plugged in the same connector, but hangs whenever the WD15 dock is plugged in: black screen, no reaction to the laptop keyboard even when caps lock is pressed (the corresponding LED does not turn on), must reboot with a long action on the power-off button. The problem is really specific to 4.15.0.44 and is not present in 4.15.0.43. Whit the new version installed, choosing the old kernel in the GRUB menu gives a working system. I now un-installed the new version and it works well. Enclosed file: Portion of /var/log/kern.log showing a boot sequence with WD15 plugged. It begins to differ from the sequence with WD15 unplugged at line 685 (looking for usb devices), contains a warning at line 850 and a OOPS at line 951 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: linux-image-4.15.0-43-generic 4.15.0-43.46 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-43.46-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-43-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: gdm 1248 F.... pulseaudio delannoy 1712 F.... pulseaudio Date: Thu Jan 31 15:42:55 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-09-20 (497 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 16.04.3 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20170801) MachineType: Dell Inc.
