Lars Kumbier, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails?driverId=R301708&fileId=2731109636 an update is available for your BIOS (A15). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a15 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Attachment removed: "ubuntu bug report" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+attachment/3936193/+files/ubuntu-bug-report.log ** Attachment removed: "lspci output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+attachment/3738793/+files/lspci.txt ** Attachment removed: "ubuntu-bug linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+attachment/3937260/+files/bug-report-linux-image-generic_-_System_OK_2_days.txt ** Summary changed: - Sudden Read-Only Filesystems + [Dell Studio XPS 1640] Sudden Read-Only Filesystems ** Tags added: regression-release -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: [Dell Studio XPS 1640] Sudden Read-Only Filesystems Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading to ubuntu 12.10, I experience sudden locks of my filesystems (I have a root and a home partition with ext4), in which the filesystems suddenly become mounted readonly. /var/log/syslog shows the following entries: Oct 7 20:00:42 StudioXPS signond[3510]: signondaemon.cpp 345 init Failed to SUID root.
