aimwinm before testing the latest mainline kernel (now 4.1-rc2), you would need to perform the WORKAROUND of shorting the CMOS so that F2 and F12 are back.
The expectation is when they are back, booting either the mainline kernel or default Ubuntu kernel does not cause the disappearance of F2/F12 (i.e. BIOS bug). If so, then this may still be pursued on the linux side of things for a code WORKAROUND, while such a BIOS bug is addressed by the vendor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451387 Title: Ubuntu UEFI install locks out UEFI firmware Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1082418/comments/74 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.16.0-30-generic 3.16.0-30.40~14.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-30.40~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt3 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-30-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon May 4 16:57:39 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-01-01 (1949 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) SourcePackage: linux-lts-utopic UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.7 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: rut 1480 F.... pulseaudio rut 7079 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=d4bb392e-90ed-41a3-9d30-fa457fefb25b InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-01-01 (1949 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) MachineType: FUJITSU LIFEBOOK LH532 Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb 1 nouveaufb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-30-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=e8258103-326b-4708-b64f-6306d0eb0a01 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-30.40~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt3 PulseList: Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: Home directory not accessible: Permission denied No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
