I just tested it with 4.15 and it didn't work. However, It works in
4.15 in other PC. At first these 2 PCs have the same packages with
apparently the same version. The only thing I can highlight about the
difference between them is that: (i) Ubuntu has been upgraded from
16.04 to 18.04 (it works fine up to 4.17) and (ii) Ubuntu 18.04 has
been installed from scratch (it doesn't work at all - tested from
4.15).
