Trying to make a very simple Log plot with Mathematica 11.3 on Ubuntu 17.10
$MinPrecision = 50; $MaxPrecision = Infinity;
xdata = {1, 2, 3};
ydata = {3.1477302095075719181822635235032484855701651103438435833662749813828`50.*^-10,
1.67617205912971801959202031586091406033234727051978784055642146218626996127554`50.*^-19,
1.17226083478094225310738147085522424615235140248269823593054063307967248`50.*^-25};
ListLogPlot[Transpose[{xdata, ydata}]]
which produces the following error message:
Tick specification must be a list or a function
Also a picture of the output
ListPlot[Transpose[{xdata, ydata}]]
works fine.
