@Torbuntu Ubuntu enables some drivers that seem to not be ready for end-user machine bioses. That causes some trouble with them. They fixed it by just disabling the drivers 😊
They are called "intel-spi-*" -
@Torbuntu
Spi driver + UEFI -
@nbamaral
Corruption (too lazy for a complete coherent sentence) 😊 -
@Torbuntu an ideal OS shouldnt be allowed to tamper with bios
Otherwise application layer products can also ruin the bios. Thats our ideal ideology. I was shocked too when i first heard this thing can happen -
@DataSec and @nbamaral
Well said !
Thanks for the internal info very rare people have indepth knowledge about these things :)
Soo insyde BIOS got a big bug via 17.10 ubuntu iso
- Settings not getting saved in bios
- USB booting is a no-go.
- suspend never wakes up without battery removal
Infected systems mostly include acer, LENoVO and hp mainly
I am surprised it took them this long to notice the bug.
