why this was marked as "in progress"? Trace don't have full symbols and I cannot understand from the present data what could be the cause, I not understand why is marked wayland (cinnamon don't have wayland support now), is there something more expert that can explain what he discovered about this please? to understand at least if is an issue related to cinnamon, not solved or solved in new version.
Ubuntu 17.10 reached EOL and I suppose that this can be keep only if is a cinnamon issue, still present and not solved
