Odd Behavior in FreeCAD and Cura - OS Update Related?


I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Cura v3.2.0 (via AppImage) and FreeCAD v0.18.4. Up until today, everything has been running fine. Tonight, I went to edit a sketch in FreeCAD in a previously created model. Normally, when I click on the sketch, it opens immediately. Now, it is taking 20 to 30 seconds to open. During that timeframe, I can move the mouse, but nothing responds to it or any clicks - no other program nor any system function. If I do click something while the system is lagging, it will react to the click(s) after that 20 to 30 second delay.

I though this might be a FreeCAD issue alone, but then I pulled up Cura and loaded a model into that. When I went to change the filament profile, the screen went white with relics of the Cura menu visible and again froze for 20 to 30 seconds just like FreeCAD. It also does that randomly regardless of the actions I'm trying to perform. Cura, though, will randomly either start working again or just crash with no messages or warnings when this happens.

I haven't installed or changed anything, but I am wondering if this might be related to a system update maybe? I mean, nothing else has changed to cause this. I am including a log of the update history. If there is anything that might be causing this, or if anyone has any ideas, I am all ears! I really need to get these programs working again...

The first thing I'd suggest is to update & upgrade everything, particularly Ubuntu. Use a dist-upgrade there.

When I first noticed this, running an update/upgrade was the first thing I did. You can see the results of that in the included history log. Last night, before you replied, I did run another update/grade and it said it was installing a whole list of graphics and mesa drivers. I thought for sure that that would fix it, so I left it and went to bed. When I woke up, it showed the updates had been installed, but (after rebooting) the programs are still acting up. When I saw your message, I went ahead and tried the update/grade using dist. For some odd reason, it told me that it was installing (what looked to me) to be the exact same graphics and mesa drivers again. Again, after rebooting, nothing has changed in regards to my issue.

I'm really not the Ubuntu guy around here. There's the purge, autoremove and clean commands among others.

Screen output is usually piped to some console you can access with Ctrl_Alt_F1 - F7. See if you can find that and is it throwing errors. As the first keys used, shift_PageUp might bring you back a screen or two through the buffer.

I want to thank you for your help. I figured out what the problem is/was. A long time ago, I had installed these alternative graphics drivers - https://launchpad.net/~oibaf - in an effort to get the latest blender to install (it didn't work) and I never reverted back to the original drivers. Since they've been working all this time, I never gave them any thought. Once I disabled those and reverted back to the original set, everything is back to normal.

So... once again, thank you for your time!
