    1. Uninstall libxcb-randr0.

      sudo apt remove libxcb-randr0

    2. Manually download libxcb-randr0 (1.12-1ubuntu1) from the official Ubuntu 17.10 repositories from here.

      • Under the Download libxcb-randr0 section click either the red amd64 link or the i386 link, depending on your OS's architecture.

      • Select a nearby mirror and download libxcb-randr0.

    3. Open the terminal, and change directories using cd to the directory containing the libxcb-randr0_1.12-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb file that you downloaded.

    4. Install libxcb-randr0_1.12-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb with this command: 

      sudo dpkg -i libxcb-randr0_1.12-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb # the i386 .deb file has a different name

    5. Run sudo apt-mark hold libxcb-randr0 which will prevent libxcb-randr0 from being automatically installed, upgraded or removed.
