None of the links you provided support your claim that my BIOS is insecure or buggy. Have you tried actually reading the stuff you copy and paste every day?
I would further point out that the last update for this system was released in 2010, at least four years before this bug was introduced. On top of that, no method for reflashing the BIOS of this system without installing Windows 7 or Windows XP exists, for which my system does not have a license. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- 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/1575250 Title: close laptop lid = complete system freeze Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To reproduce: 1. Close laptop lid. 2. Wait a couple of minutes. 3. Open laptop lid. Result: the screen remains powered off and the system will not respond in any way. Pressing keys does nothing.
