@Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox) @Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox) My Lenovo G50-80 was running a Ubuntu 17.10 with no dualboot. The BIOS didn't allow me to change ANY of the options and USB/DVD boot did not work for a few weeks or maybe months (I don't check BIOS every day).
Also it seems that grub failed when doing an apt upgrade (gave me a syscall error I/O) and the laptop turned itself into a brick because the "ubuntu"EFI entry also stopped working. Right now I've set up a PXE server and I'm trying to install Windows 10 over LAN. If I can get it to boot, I'll try to apply the latest BIOS patch (only available for install through Windows) and see if everything goes back to normal. -- 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/grub2/+bug/1734147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
