teo1978, thank you for the quick follow up. >"I won't update my BIOS until Ubuntu offers a way of doing it in a simple way >without relying on another OS."
Just to advise, this will more than likely not happen anytime soon (on the order of years). In the PC industry, the responsibility of the BIOS update mechanism is upon the computer OEM (in this case Acer) and the OS vendor they have a formal partnership with (in this case Microsoft). However, if they don't formally support your OS (like with Ubuntu), or they don't have an alternative update method as a courtesy (burn update to ISO and reboot into this environment, etc.) then the next best known good working solution is temporarily install the OS the OEM supports, and then update the BIOS as they intended when they sold you the computer. At this point, you have put yourself in an impossible situation in the short-medium term because you would rather wait for years for something that may never materialize, versus take the hour out of your time to do as previously requested (which in itself is quite simple). If you want to wait, that's fine, but I wouldn't hold your breath. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453742 Title: xorg started to systematically crash after every suspend/resume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1453742/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
