[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
I apologize for flooding this bug report but I posted in several samsung/linux related forums with no reply. I guess I got lucky with this laptop (530u3c-ad5br BIOS:p07abh) since the bios is supposed to be still affected by the bug but I installed gentoo with a kernel new enough to have the samsung-laptop module checking for UEFI at start and blacklisting itself. So I installed normally in UEFI modes without bricking it. However, none of my leds work. Not even the AC-outlet connected one when it's powered down. I don't think this is a software issue and I suspect that probably it will need to have the BIOS reflashed, but since I got rid of windows and reflashing is a hassle, I wanted to find out first if someone else is experiencing the same problem, or even if someone else is not (at this point I have no clue if all, some or none other 530u3c have this problem). I already tried unpluging and pressing the hole/button that powers the battery in the back, as well as going through the code in the kernel and in the DSDT tables for clues, to find nothing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Blacklisting the samsung-laptop module in UEFI mode fixes the related but separate issue of the kernel crashing on bootup. The root cause of the bricking was that Samsung's firmware had an undocumented requirement of 5KB of free UEFI variable space to be able to start up. The kernel crash would cause a log dump, which could cause the variable store to be filled beyond this limit. (Matthew Garrett provided a more detailed report in his blog last year: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/25091.html ) Handling of UEFI variables was changed in the kernel (in Ubuntu 13.10 and newer), and Samsung supposedly made fixes to their firmware, so the bricking issue is fixed. As far as this bug is concerned, the installation procedure is to update your firmware to the newest version and then install Ubuntu as usual. Driver support for particular laptop models should probably be addressed in separate bug reports.

No. Despite not directly causing the bricking, the samsung-laptop driver will only work in CMS mode and will cause random and potentially very bad problems when running under UEFI.

Hey Adrian, Let me just quote what I wrote above 11 months ago: First of all, I have installed SAMSUNG BIOS upgrades from within Windows 8, then reduced Windows partition to leave around 40–50 Gb of free space, the remaining free space on a HDD was allocated for Ubuntu's /home directory. Next I disabled Intel rapid start technology, in Windows, (for I might need to copy files from Ubuntu to that Windows partition in the future, and AFAIK having that enabled would lead to filesystem errors) and disabled secure boot in BIOS. Having made those preparations, I went to install Ubuntu 13.04 amd64 from a USB flash drive. (I have a 500 Gb hard drive and a SanDisk SSD i100 24GB. As I do not boot into Windows very often, I wiped everything present on the SSD and allocated it for Ubuntu's / partition (great boot/app launch speeds!).) All is well. Later I realized Windows would not boot out of the box, complaining something about an invalid path or something, I do not recall the exact message. However, installing and using Repair-Boot did the trick; now I am able to boot into both Ubuntu and Windows 8 just fine. For the record, I'm still running the same install only upgraded to Trusty. I can confirm everything is working fine, dual boot works etc. I installed it in the UEFI mode; keep in mind that otherwise you would't be able to boot Windows. 2014-05-20 21:14 GMT+02:00 nanolight 1040...@bugs.launchpad.net: Hi all, I own an Samsung Series 5 Ultra NP540U3C with Windows 8.

I confirm Calant procedure: ON SAMSUNG 535U3C A03DE 1) Updated Bios to P07RAS 2) Disabled Fastboot on both Windows8 and bios 3) Run usb boot with SecureBoot Enabled and UEFI selected 4) Normally installed Ubuntu selecting Other during install and partitioning the hdd. 5) Selected the hdd for bootloader 6) On reboot Everything worked fine.

[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Hi everybody, I have just purchased a 530U3C. I have read through all the comments. I would like if someone could clarify some points. About the specific issue: Is it reasonable safe to try/install Ubuntu disabling UEFI? Does current release 13.04 come with a kernel containing the patch mentioned above? The BIOS menu does not have secure boot, or cms, just enable or disable UEFI. disabling that setting would be enough? What are the disadvantages of disabling UEFI? What would be the best way to create the booteable pen drive? I upgraded the BIOS using samsung's updater (version info below) . Do we have any info yet ragarding the fix? A little off-topic / if someone insalled ubuntu in this model: Does dual booting work ok? i.e. may i risk the Windows 7 installation by installing GRUB, etc? Is it safe to delete the partitions on the SSD drive and install linux there or would that bring problems to windows? Many thanks in advance and sorry if this is a misuse of the bug-report.

Re: [Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Calant, let me put it this way. There were no confirmations either from SAMSUNG or from Ubuntu/kernel devs that the fixes released necessarily solve those issues (no info from SAMSUNG at all). However, as you can see, there are almost no new reports that people are still facing the issue. If you are interested in my way of dealing with the situation, as I wrote somewhere above, I installed vanilla 13.04 (it already has the hypothetically bug triggering 'samsung-laptop' module disabled) and afterwards (on the first boot) made sure to have a 3.10 kernel installed from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/. (Just in case; as 3.10 – still a -rc at the time – was the first kernel containing some significant Matthew Garrett's anti-bricking patches that should in theory remove even a slightest possibility to be affected by the issue.) Have not looked back since then, everything has been working flawlessly (I have a 530U3C-EE05 machine). So you can wait or just do the same as I did (just take the 3.11 mainline kernel instead, as it is already out). And I am not the only one who did this, as you can see in this thread. 2013/9/11 calant 1040...@bugs.launchpad.net So I figure the safest thing to do is to wait for Ubuntu 13.10 release? Since this uses linux kernel 3.11 which contains the anti brick patch? -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
So here's my STORY(Long Story) with my Samsung computers. I think what i'm going to write could be a: GUIDE IN INSTALLING UBUNTU 12.04.2 ON SAMSUNG 535U3C-A02 AND SAMSUNG 535U3C-A03(A02=AMD A6 - A03=AMD A4) 1) Update BIOS using windows 8(or Win7) preinstalled. My version was P04RAS updated to P07RAS! 2) Create a boot disk using unetbootin on windows 8 3)Go to BIOSFastBootDisabled 4) Go to BIOSSecureBootDisabledCSM OS(IMPORTANT DO NOT SELECT CSM OS AND UEFI OS) 5) Select your USB-DRIVE as primary device for boot. 6) Boot into Live. --BREAK-- At this point the computer should work but there are several problems: 1)Ati drivers(KEEP THE COMPUTER SCREEN ON AND NEVER GO ON SUSPEND..MAYBE CLOSING THE SCREEN OR YOU'LL HAVE TO REBOOT INTO LIVE!!) 2)On AC-plugged in the computer is very slow so please charge your battery before installing. The solution to this problem is installing Jupiter during your live session..so if you install jupiter you can use your computer with AC-in. --Continue-- 7)Install UBUNTU 12.04.2 choosing the option to install Updates and third part software. 8)At this point (for me) WIN 8 is not recognized so chose Other in installation option. 9)Editing Partitions: You just DO NOT TOUCH BOOT PARTIOTION!! Resize Win 8 one(NTFS partition) and create, using the new free space, an EXT4 partition and a SWAP partition. CHOOSE THE HDD(SDA) AS DISK TO INSTALL BOOTLOADER, NO OTHER PARTITION! 10) Let Ubuntu install! 11) On the first reboot install all of the updates needed. 12) After installing updates go to: http://support.amd.com/it/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx and download BETA DRIVERS 13.8!! 13) Install drivers using terminal(go to directory and type sudo 'name-of-the-driver') 14) On reboot YOU HAVE YOUR CARD FULLY WORKING AND WAKEUP AFTER SUSPEND WORKS PERFECTLY!! NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIVER SETUP AFTER INSTALL!! EVERY TIME YOU'LL UPDATE THE KERNEL YOU'LL HAVE TO REINSTALL DRIVERS MANUALLY FROM CONSOLE AND REBOOT. THEN EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AGAIN! 15) INSTALL JUPITER!!! Is very important so that the fan works correctly AND TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF SLOW PC ON AC IN! 16) Use the Plymouth fix proposed here: http://www.mobilegeek.it/2010/05/ubuntu-10-04-fix-veloce-per-plymouth/ to make plymouth show correctly on boot! 17) More or less you've DONE!! Enjoy 18) Battery Life is good..3H on 80% charge.. 19) Backlight start working when you install ATI drivers. 20) Camera works with skype! Everything is OK. I use this trick to disable bluetooth on boot: http://www.lffl.org/2011/12/ubuntu-disattivare-il-bluetooth-o-wifi.html I hope this guide could Help so much people using the same machine.

And GRUB now boots fine into Ubuntu or Win 8.

@Fabio: if you completely remove Win8, you will likely lose the ability to upgrade your machine's firmware. The firmware can be upgraded only with Samsung Updater - a Windows application. If Win8 does not start from your newly installed Grub, you are probably hitting the known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1024383 The solution suggested in post 18 on that bug's page worked for me.

Re: [Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
I have been running Ubuntu 13.04 on SAMSUNG NP530U3C-A05EE for a good week and a half. So far so good. Please note, that I am running a mainline 3.10 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ which among other things contains Matthew Garrett's UEFI anti-bricking patches. First of all, I have installed SAMSUNG BIOS upgrades from within Windows 8, then reduced Windows partition to leave around 40–50 Gb of free space, the remaining free space on a HDD was allocated for Ubuntu's /home directory. Next I disabled Intel rapid start technology, in Windows, (for I might need to copy files from Ubuntu to that Windows partition in the future, and AFAIK having that enabled would lead to filesystem errors) and disabled secure boot in BIOS. Having made those preparations, I went to install Ubuntu 13.04 amd64 from a USB flash drive. (I have a 500 Gb hard drive and a SanDisk SSD i100 24GB. As I do not boot into Windows very often, I wiped everything wpresent on the SSD and allocated it for Ubuntu's / partition (great boot/app launch speeds!).) On the first boot I have downloaded a mainline 3.10 (then still RC) kernel, installed it and rebooted. All is well. Later I realized Windows would not boot out of the box, complaining something about an invalid path or something, I do not recall the exect message. However, installing and using Repair-Boot did the trick; now I am able to boot into both Ubuntu and Windows 8 just fine. What works? Pretty much everything. What does not work? Rfkill switch and fan speed switch (Fn-F11 and Fn-F12 relatively), despite me having installed the samsung-tools package (that's just a frontend) from Voria's Samsung on Linux PPA. I believe both need the functionality the samsung-laptop module provides. However, it is disabled and even though I took the risk of loading it on my machine (having in mind safety Mr. Garrett's patches are supposed to provide) I was unable to do that because of errors. I wonder will this module be enabled some time in the future. We will see. 2013/6/28 stblack 1040...@bugs.launchpad.net Thanks Jordan, so I check better the Jethro solution.

Just noting you don't have to use the i386 image on the 64bit i5 CPU, unless you want to install the 32bit version of Ubuntu. Amd64 images is what you should be using if you want to run a 64bit OS; it has nothing to do with the AMD vs. Intel distinction.

Re: [Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
I know where to get the packages, but thank you anyway. :) My question was rather how to build an image with those packages or where it would be possible to get one. So that people would be able to install Ubuntu from such images containing a (hopefully) safe kernel, i.e. to boot it right away instead of just installing it before the second boot. I discovered (http://voices.canonical.com/kernelteam/) that the Ubuntu Kernel Team are planning, I assume, to use the 3.10 kernel in the nearest future once some issues are resolved: Our Saucy unstable branch has been rebased to the latest v3.10-rc5 upstream kernel. We are still holding off on a v3.10 based upload due to missing AUFS support as well as some DKMS package failures we would like to resolve. We have however gone ahead and rebased our Saucy master branch to the recent v3.9.5 upstream stable and plan to upload that today. That is great news. However, this still means that any owner of affected machines who is not running Saucy with 3.10-rc6 or newer might still be affected by the issue. (Unless SAMSUNG have resolved it already, which may or may not be the case, but I have no hope that we will ever get to know this.) Hence I think it may be worth the effort to either consider backporting the patch or create alternative cd/usb images with those 3.10 kernels of all currently supported Ubuntu releases. What do you think? Would it be possible to implement any of above? 2013/6/16 LocutusOfBorg costamagnagianfra...@yahoo.it http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

PLEASE can you ask the Samsung people to PLEASE clarify whether this bug has been fixed in the latest firmware? Or at least if they believe that it has been fixed?

[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Here's a very fresh update on the matter from the fantastic Mr. Matthew Garrett: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/25091.html Here's the summary of it: Hence this patch. The new approach is to ask the firmware how much space is available. If the size of the new variable would reduce this to less than 5K, we attempt to create a variable bigger than the remaining space. This should cause the firmware to realise that it's out of room and either (depending on implementation) perform a garbage collection run at runtime or set a flag that will cause the system to perform garbage collection on the next reboot. We then call QueryVariableInfo() again to see whether a garbage collection run actually happened, and if so check whether we now have enough space. If so, we go ahead and write the variable. If not, we tell userspace that there's not enough space. This seems to work in all the situations I've tested, and it should avoid ending up in a situation where a Samsung can end up bricked. However, it's firmware, so who knows whether it's going to break things for someone else. The aforementioned patch can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/1/200 So my question, or rather begging, would be may somebody from the Ubuntu kernel team backport this patch so that it would be available on (at the very least) daily images of 13.04 (or older folks who prefer it)?

Re: [Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Did you try to update Samsung provided BIOS from within Windows first? Rumour has it that Samsung released an updated BIOS that has this issue ironed out. (And yes, there indeed have been two or three BIOS updates from Samsung on my sister's presumably affected laptop since I am following this thread.) In this case it should be safe to run any version of Ubuntu or Windows on your laptop. Until the fix is there, I'm afraid no one is 100 % safe. However, beware that NO ONE has yet confirmed that the fix has actually been released. Samsung do not bother to provide changelogs or make a one-liner public announcement. Neither do Ubuntu/Canonical who, if I understand Steve correctly, have been previously communicating Samsung devs concerning the issue. That is why I still have not installed Ubuntu for my sister on that laptop, not worth the risk. Even though she had been running it as her sole OS since 2005. Not anymore, thanks to the obscure PR. I am afraid this is a social bug too. 2013/5/25 frantoms frant...@gmail.com Hello keghn, I try to install ubuntu 12.10 and it bricked my laptop.

@ Fabio: I installed ubuntu 12.04 in the uefi way and it still works (for more info see post #128). I guess you don't need the daily image, if you use 12.04.2, because it already has the patched kernel. I find it strange, though, that your computer bricked, since I thought that the 13.04 kernels do not call samsung-laptop anymore and so avoiding the bricking problem.

[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Today I managed to install 13.04 alongside Windows 8 on my Samsung NP700z3c with the latest Samsung BIOS update (dated March 2012, I want to say it's P05ABJ but I'm not 100% on that). Essentially the steps I undertook are as follows: *A few months ago when I bought this laptop, I made some free space on the hard drive using Windows 8's disk utility tools (I believe you can get to it by entering the new start menu and searching for diskmgmt.msc); personally I made about 250 gb space for Ubuntu, but of course YMMV *Before I installed Ubuntu I checked how fragmented my drive was; WIndows' built-in tools told me 1% fragmentation, and I figured this wouldn't cause any problems *I downloaded 13.04 from the main Ubuntu site and followed the instructions on there for putting it on a USB drive (I think there's a link there to pendrivelinux, along with instructions for what to do) *I checked the BIOS; after updating it back in March, it turns out it reset the secure-boot settings. Back in November I had disabled both secure-boot and fast-boot through the BIOS; when I checked it this time fast-boot was disabled, but secure-boot was not. *I DID NOT change the boot preference to CSM or CSM/UEFI, I kept it at UEFI (I believe this is the main problem caused by this bug) *In the BIOS options I changed the boot priority to USB HDD, then Windows boot loader *I restarted my computer, and the familiar live-usb grub menu popped up *I chose to install Ubuntu *According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_partition and some various askubuntu.com pages, you should select manual installation (whichever options lets you choose what gets installed where); I made an EFI partition of 250 mb as recommended in the Ubuntu wiki at the beginning of the free space I had originally set out; I made a swap partition of about 6 gb, and the rest I made for / *Downloaded updates and whatnot during installation *Restarted my computer, it booted into Grub and I was able to log into Ubuntu *Restarted again, booted into Grub and selected the Windows entry. It didn't work, said something about an invalid EFI path (as noted here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/297431/invalid-efi-file-path-on-windows-8); I followed the suggestion solution about installing rEFInd *Restarted again, rEFInd menu shows up. First entry is Windows; selecting that managed to load Windows 8 without a problem. Second entry is Ubuntu, selecting that managed to load Ubuntu without a problem. There are like 4 other entires; haven't tried them yet, have no plans to.

This happened to me yesterday on my NP530U3C-A07SE, I hadn't changed any BIOS settings so they were factory default (except the boot sequence, in which I had set USB booting highest).

The installation worked flawlessly, everything was fast and responsive, upon completion it prompted me to restart. It started up (I had forgotten to take out the USB) so it jumped to the USB boot menu (Try Ubuntu.. Install.. etc), so I turned it off, took out the USB and powered it back on. The screen blinked once, then went into the gruesome void that it is today, completely black, completely bricked :( I've talked to customer support where I bought it, and they are happy to take it back (luckily, as it's brand new) but it's still a hassle and an unpleasant feeling when your new machine dies for good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hey everyone. I recently bricked my NP300E5C-A01UB trying to boot into Ubuntu with UEFI enabled. After locating the correct chip on the motherboard, my friend connected his bus pirate to it and we were able to dump the firmware and go through it. I have posted these logs and the dump of the borked firmware to GitHub https://github.com/rimunroe/SamsungUEFI. We recovered the kernel panic log from the dump, and I have posted it as well.

[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Samsung have published a BIOS update, version 1.0.0.3, which should correct the underlying problem. So possibly the Linux installation procedure could now be amended to: a) check whether the computer has a samsung bios lower 1.0.0.3, and if so warn the user to upgrade, and if the user continues the installation, to deactivate the samsung modules, b) if the bios version is 1.0.0.3 or higher to do the installation with the samsung modules. Knowing that Samsung are quite committed to Android and Linux, it is good that they have picked up this issue seriously and addressed it, even though it required multiple parties to do so and therefore took a bit of time.

[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Not sure. I guess you are referring to the BIOS signatures. Actually I just noted that the version number I gave above is INCORRECT. That is the number shown on the Samsung NL site, but that version is dated 6 March 2012 (Twelve) so is an old version. The Samsung Windows update tool, however, did install an updated BIOS yesterday evening which does not yet show on the site, as well as updates for Windows from NVidia and wireless drivers. Currently in the process of backing some stuff up, but looking in the Windows Registry (start regedit.exe, look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DESCRIPTION/System/BIOS) the BIOS shows as: BIOSVersion: P05ABJ, BIOSReleaseDate 9 March 2013, BIOSVendor Phoenix Technologies, SystemFamilly ChiefRiver System, SytemProductName 700Z3C/700Z5C, SystemVersion 0.1. I guess the BIOS release date may be the better indicator whether you are up to date, as the BIOS identifiers seem to be different than those mentioned above which may be due to subversions for different markets or something like that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Bit frustrating to not be able to correct my previous post with respect to the incorrect version number 1.0.0.3. The correction version number is not completely clear, but the version date should be MARCH 2013, just to be clear. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, but there is no mention that this bios update will correct the 'bricking' problem, or did I miss something? My bios p07abh has the date 11/3/2013...The SytemProductName is 530u3c/530u4c/532u3c. My system boots under uefi... every bios upgrade gets rid of grub, so each time I have to reinstall grub using a sytem rescue usb. If I knew that this upgrade solves the bricking problem, then I would not need to upgrade bios anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop
Everyone who is attempting to upgrade BIOS, beware that the Ubuntu EFI boot option is erased during the upgrade process. The entry in the Boot Priority Order is gone after the upgrade, and you will need to install EFI grub to be able to continue using Ubuntu in the EFI mode. The upgrade process also sets the boot mode to Secure Boot. If you need to continue booting into Ubuntu after the upgrade, make sure that you can boot Ubuntu into the CSM mode, and use the CSM mode until you have time to install EFI grub. The BIOS upgrade comes without any changelog. Can anyone confirm that this upgrade indeed fixes the bricking problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
