[Mesa-users] make_o_ne_wd causing computer to freeze

[Ana Antonini]

Hi Frank, Hi Richard

 I was away for a few weeks so couldn't monitor all the computer was doing.

To answer your questions, no the CPU isn't overheating and system
characteristics continue as usual until it fully crashes.
The IT people at my institution suggested it could be the ubuntu version,
but I can't see why  MESA would have a problem with ubuntu18.

Anyway, I'll try reinstalling mesa to see if this solves the problem,
otherwise i might just jump to the newest release and hope it goes
smoothly.

Thanks for your time!!
