I am perfectly aware that my BIOS is out-of-date and this is a conscious decision. First of all, according to changelog, this BIOS update only implements code for uEFI security vulnerabilities, so the chance that anything in regard to this bug report will improve is relatively small. Additionally, a lot of users report problems after updating. Eventual update would also prohibit me from unlocking the BIOS, which I may need in the future.
As much as I would like to help improving Ubuntu, I will not upgrade the BIOS and risk overall stability of my system to confirm whether the freeze still happens. Sorry that I cannot be of more help. Hope you will understand. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1529828 Title: System freeze when using LibreOffice Impress Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Happens when selecting not-so-large chunks of formatted text. Makes Impress completely unusable. At first, everything just slows down a lot and LibreOffice loses a lot of responsiveness. At this point, I managed to close Impress once. But shortly after (matter of several seconds), the whole system is rendered unresponsive. Mouse cursor doesn't move (maybe a bit, in intervals), I cannot switch to tty by ctrl+alt+Fx, I can't do anything but force shutdown.
