So I've been having some trouble on my kubuntu 17.10 laptop for the last few days (dell inspiron 15 5000 series). The screen flickers every few seconds, and the cursor is a tad delayed, among other things. Things take longer to open than they should, and on boot, my screen lingers on a blank black screen with only a single cursor. Typing moves my cursor all around where I'm trying to put it, and sometimes it doesn't print on screen what I'm typing.
I've tried messing around with compositor, and switching to opengl 3 from 2, but it's more of the same. Highlight screen areas is off, and most settings are default. It's pretty much a fresh install; I only installed a few days ago, but it was from an old-ish iso. I previously installed from the same stick, but I messed python up and wanted to reinstall my system. Now, I'm having all these problems. There's lag in almost everything I do, and I'm having a really hard time getting work done with this environment.
This has been a pain to type on kubuntu. I'm really hoping to get a solution soon. I didn't have this problem the last time I installed kubuntu (same version, same computer).
Let me know if you need any extra info (dmesg, etc)
