You can show the bios version, which is currently installed, by typing: michael@ideapad:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version 2ACN21WW
The current bios version which is available from Lenovo is: 2ACN37WW Did anybody encounter these problems with bios version 2ACN37WW? Is this a good BIOS version or does it still have some annoying bugs? Any experiences with BIOS versions between 2ACN21WW and the newest available one are also highly appreciated. Some people reported success with the "Reboot -> F2 -> F9 (load default BIOS settings) -> F10 (save & exit)" workaround. With which bios version did that work? I am currently looking for a way how to safely upgrade the BIOS without the need to install Windows. The first thing I am going to try is to backup the currently installed BIOS. Reading the BIOS image is unlikely to brick my netbook, but it is a first test, if accessing the BIOS image works well. My first tries using a BartPE CD were not successful, because the WinPhlash utility shipped with the 2ACN37WW.exe file (MD5SUM: c510bc34109684289e8ec30079b6916c) from Lenovo could not find a file and exited. If anybody here has a backup of 2ACN21WW, saved from WinPhlash started from Windows, please simply report the MD5SUM of the backup file. This would be beneficial because then I could compare it with my results when I got a backup. If that succeeds, I will consider to try upgrading to the newest version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577114 Title: Wireless and Bluetooth switch does not work correctly on lenovo ideapad s10-3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/577114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
