@christopherreis There is no iso for a lot of Lenovo models. For instance, for Lenovo G40-30, there is only an .exe file, that is only compatible with Windows 8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bug

@anthonywong Thank you for your reply. Please allow me to say that after contacting Lenovo to request support and notify them about the current problem, they clearly stated that they are unaware of the issue and that absolutely no report has been made to Lenovo.

Contacting the vendor and sending computers in, means paying a lot of money for something that the end-users haven't caused on their hardware. What is more, Lenovo clearly states that Linux is unsupported so, their options are limited in terms of providing support. That is why they have advised me

It happened again right now, on another G40-30 Lenovo laptop, running Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04, both in legacy mode.
