Satish the only thing I might add to this is that in my experience, when you do the 'shorting' of the cl1 cl2 pins the machine must have power available, it is no good doing it with the battery removed it wont work, in fact the machine has to be switched on. (see my post dated "2012/11/21 18:38" on this site: http://www.linlap.com/fujitsu_lifebook_ah532 ). I tried it with power removed and absolutely nothing happens. Bear in mind that what I did there is potentially dangerous both to you and the machine. Another thing to try (a lot safer! ) is to remove the cmos battery (if you can find it, I dont know where it is) this has reportedly worked on other machines, but I can't gurantee it will work on the Fujutsu.
In my case I only finally solved this problem when I removed Uefi from the system completely (deleted the Efi System partition). Having done that I had to do my motherboard shorting/bios flashing routine one more time then reinstall everything in 'legacy' mode, after which the problem has gone away for good. This is a problem with Fujitsu's bios/uefi firmware in my opinion, it is very similar, if not identical to the problem affecting Samsung machines (which seem to have been more widely publicised than this). I don't know if Matthew Garret's kernel patch will solve this problem for the Fujitsu, but I suspect it will. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=68d929862e29a8b52a7f2f2f86a0600423b093cd I don't know how widely this patch has been applied just yet, obviously having totally removed Uefi from my machine, and having no desire to ever put it back, I can't test it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082418 Title: Ubuntu UEFI install locks out UEFI firmware (~bios) access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1082418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
