[Bug 1774228] [NEW] Missing K3b dependencies
Public bug reported: In the K3b settings, CDDB would not work. I was able to get it to work by installing kdemultimedia and kio-audiocd. I'm not sure which package provides the needed capability, but I think at least one of these should be added to the dependencies for K3b, maybe as a recommended or suggested package if not as a required package. ** Affects: k3b (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to k3b in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774228 Title: Missing K3b dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/1774228/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1734147] Re: Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models
** Description changed: SRU Justification Impact: Many users are reporting issues with bios corruption with 17.10. This seems to stem from enabling the intel-spi-* drivers in the kernel, which don't appear to be ready for use on end-user machines. Fix: Disable this driver. Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware. Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver. --- 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.

[Bug 1734147] Re: Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models
I think we are off on the wrong track. This is fundamentally a CVE against Insyde Software BIOS and possibly other vendors. Any attacker with kernel mode access could do the same thing, regardless of Linux install. I am not sure, but it is possible someone with admin access to Windows could create a driver to do the same thing. Any brave pentesters out there want to give it a try and write it up? If Paul Sladen in #173 is correct, this is definitely a CVE against the BIOS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. 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 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
