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 --- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
