I did a software update on my Aser Aspire 1830T-68U118 and it installed Linux 4.18.0-14 but after doing a restart it doesn't even get to ask me for my password, just stops. After much googling (fortunately I had a bootable usb stick) i used the "press shift" and made it boot into 4.18.0-13 . Is there a anything I can do or do I just wait for the next available Linux update to see if it solves my problem.

There is a kernel bug existing for the current upgrade - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1813657

Meanwhile, you can set grub to default to a prior kernel, via either

or

Set "older" kernel as default grub entry

  • Note to close voters: I am aware that this is a link-only answer, but for the sake of brevity for those affected by the kernel bug I would prefer not to ask those users to look around for how to set grub. – Charles Green Feb 05 '19 at 17:40
  • Thanks, I'll just set GRUB and see what happens with the next drop. – E. Sellers Feb 06 '19 at 18:19
