I may have been a little over-optimistic here; while one adapter (from Apple) works fine, I am having huge trouble with a USB-C docking station from Dell. About one in ten times, when I connect it, the entire machine just freezes and I have to hard-reboot. Frequently, not even SysRq keys will react. Also, it occasionally (like twice a week) happens that an HDMI screen is not recognized even if I re-plug it 10 times. In this case I have to reboot to get it to connect. Essentially, I now find myself rebooting the laptop 3 or 4 times as week because of issues with the external screen. It's like the 90s all over again...</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
