Aaaagh! I thought that flash routine ran fast. It hadn't worked. I've tried again:
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date V1.21 08/09/2012 No crashes yet (5 mins use so far), but promise to update this if/when it happens again. Sorry for wasting your time, let's hope the BIOS update fixed it! ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132046 Title: [Acer Aspire 5750] Complete hang, no response to SysRq magic keys To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1132046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
