I was running Xubuntu 16.10 with no issue, then I upgraded to 17.04 and suddenly was having issues with booting and shutdown. I did a clean build of 17.04, and it was working fine, until I switched from the Nvidia driver to the Nouveau driver. When I did that, I saw the same issues with starting up and shutting down again, so obviously it's that driver. But when I run the Nvidia driver, I have issues with video in VLC. Fast forward/rewind is very slow, and trying to play a video file at anything other than 1X doesn't work at all. It works fine with the Nouveau driver, and it's not a hardware issue, I've got plenty of power, this is what I'm running: https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GE62-Apache-GTX-965M.html#hero-overview
Anyone seen issues like this?
