[Bug 1734147] Re: Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models
Acer E15 E5-575G-52DA here. So I can change UEFI settings (boot mode, boot device order) and boot Ubuntu 17.10 from USB, but not the bootable Windows 10 USB that I have. However, I tried burning the Windows 10 ISO into a DVD-RW (I'm not wasting a DVD-R on Windows) and I can confirm that I can boot Windows 10 from DVD (but I didn't try to install it). So, I guess I'm not affected? Can anyone with an Acer E15 E5-575G please confirm? I'm kinda afraid about this issue, really. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734147 Title: Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Okay, so I rebooted and here is what I found (Acer Aspire E5-575G-52DA): - Booting from Ubuntu 17.10 from USB flash drive works - I can change UEFI settings - I can reorder the boot device order - I can change boot mode from UEFI to BIOS (legacy) and vice versa - However, I have a Windows 10 bootable USB flash drive, and no matter the boot mode (legacy or UEFI), it isn't detected, even in the F12 boot menu. Am I affected? I'm literally afraid right now. This is a brand new laptop, and the last thing I want is getting it bricked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734147 Title: Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am currently running Ubuntu 17.10 on an Acer E5-575G-52DA, and I am very, very anxious. Trying to restart to see if UEFI is affected... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734147 Title: Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
