Dear Christopher, Here's the description at the Sony page for the BIOS R2060Y0 update:
If your VAIO hardware supports Intel Virtualization Technology, this setting will be added to the BIOS. The VT setting is disabled by default. Are you sure this is related to the issue reported? Updating the BIOS - especially in a computer that has os Microsoft software at all - is not a step to be taken lightly. -- 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/1350513 Title: Ctrl+Alt+F1 shuts down laptop Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 14.04 on Sony Vaio VGN-FW31ZJ. Whenever I try to switch to a TTY, say by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, the system shuts down. The text user name prompt appears for a split second but quickly everything goes black. I then have to press and hold the On/Off chassis button (as in a regular switch on) and wait for the whole start up process to go through: BIOS, Grub and so on. I have used Ubuntu on this laptop since 8.10 and never had such odd behaviour.
