** Description changed: Hi all, Basically on Lenovo Y50-70 after installing Ubuntu 17.10, many users reported a corrupted BIOS. It's not possible to save new settings in BIOS anymore and after rebooting, the system starts with the old settings. Moreover (and most important) USB booting is not possible anymore since USB is not recognized. It's very serious, since our machines do not have a CDROM. Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue. For example: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-70-BIOS-Can-t -Save-Settings-or-boot-with-USB/m-p/3849142 https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-70-BIOS-Can-t -Save-Settings-Or-Exit/m-p/3601285 https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/y50-70-BIOS-can-t -save-settings-and-I-can-t-boot-system/m-p/3865727 Thank you!! #### UPDATE (27/11/2017) #### LENOVO machines affected so far: Lenovo Y50-70 Lenovo G40-30 Lenovo U31-70 Lenovo G50-70 Lenovo Z50-70 Lenovo Yoga Thinkpad (20C0) + --- + ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.5 + Architecture: amd64 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC1: tob 1608 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC0: tob 1608 F.... pulseaudio + CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 + InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-10-22 (37 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) + MachineType: LENOVO 20378 + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.13.0-17-generic root=UUID=7def04d3-7336-44b2-a084-2415f9dc2328 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-17.20-generic 4.13.8 + RelatedPackageVersions: + linux-restricted-modules-4.13.0-17-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-4.13.0-17-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.169 + Tags: artful wayland-session + Uname: Linux 4.13.0-17-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo + _MarkForUpload: True + dmi.bios.date: 08/12/2015 + dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO + dmi.bios.version: 9ECN43WW(V3.03) + dmi.board.asset.tag: No Asset Tag + dmi.board.name: Lenovo Y50-70 + dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO + dmi.board.version: 00000000Not Defined + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag + dmi.chassis.type: 10 + dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO + dmi.chassis.version: Lenovo Y50-70 + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr9ECN43WW(V3.03):bd08/12/2015:svnLENOVO:pn20378:pvrLenovoY50-70:rvnLENOVO:rnLenovoY50-70:rvr00000000NotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrLenovoY50-70: + dmi.product.family: IDEAPAD + dmi.product.name: 20378 + dmi.product.version: Lenovo Y50-70 + dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO ** Attachment added: "AlsaInfo.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734147/+attachment/5016355/+files/AlsaInfo.txt -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
