Calant, let me put it this way. There were no confirmations either from SAMSUNG or from Ubuntu/kernel devs that the fixes released necessarily solve those issues (no info from SAMSUNG at all). However, as you can see, there are almost no new reports that people are still facing the issue.
If you are interested in my way of dealing with the situation, as I wrote somewhere above, I installed vanilla 13.04 (it already has the hypothetically bug triggering 'samsung-laptop' module disabled) and afterwards (on the first boot) made sure to have a 3.10 kernel installed from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/. (Just in case; as 3.10 – still a -rc at the time – was the first kernel containing some significant Matthew Garrett's anti-bricking patches that should in theory remove even a slightest possibility to be affected by the issue.) Have not looked back since then, everything has been working flawlessly (I have a 530U3C-EE05 machine). So you can wait or just do the same as I did (just take the 3.11 mainline kernel instead, as it is already out). And I am not the only one who did this, as you can see in this thread. 2013/9/11 calant <[email protected]> > So I figure the safest thing to do is to wait for Ubuntu 13.10 release? > Since this uses linux kernel 3.11 which contains the anti brick patch? > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 > > Title: > UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
