I suggest you report a bug. Zesty is not ready and is not stable.

If you want to help get Zesty ready for release in April, and want to report bugs and issues as you find them then by all means use Zesty but it will not be a smooth experience up to (and even a few weeks after) release date.

If you need an OS that works then I suggest you wipe Zesty off and do a clean install of Xenial. Xenial is rock solid and is LTS so supported til April 2021.

I have Xenial for normal work, but I try Zesty hoping to help development.
will try to open a bug, but i don't know how to proceed because it don't start
