nicomachuswow14:08
nicomachusLenovo laptops with W10 "Signature Edition" are locking out the BIOS and completely preventing any linux installation.14:08
ducasseyes, posted that here earlier today. aiui, the bios locks the sata controller to a raid mode that requires custom drivers, with no option to switch it to ahci.14:39
OerHeksEurope does not allow that. lets see this progress ..14:42
ducassewas just about to say that, i doubt lenovo or others will try this here.14:43
OerHeksI think i got the clue, special intel processor with one core that is dedicated14:45
nicomachusOerHeks: the US doesn't either. It's called Tying.14:45
OerHeksnext thing i hope is unlocked iphone capable of running ubuntu-touch :-D14:46
nicomachusOerHeks: I still haven't been won over by Ubuntu Touch.15:12
nicomachusI don't see the benefit over Android yet.15:12
OerHekslack of new devices is playing part now, besides the community effort on other phones15:14
OerHeksno meizu 6, etc15:14
DJonesOerHeks: Wonder how long it'll be before the troll gets removed17:35
DJonesI have a short fuse17:35
OerHeksNever. unless ubuntu decides to put channelmode +r registered .. but then, still ..17:35
OerHeksI know how you feel, you are committed to help someone for free, with the bet honest answer you can find.17:36
OerHeksIn amerika schiet het ook niet op .. ik bedoel, ze schieten wel veel op.17:43
OerHeksoops wrong channel17:44
baizonhehe17:47
DArqueBishopI don't know what you said, but whatever it was I would probably sadly agree with it.17:49
OerHeksWe have a political talk about yearly budget, it sounds more like the comming election 2017.17:54
baizonamerika and shiet, thats what i did understand :D17:54
OerHeksnow the masks fall off17:54
OerHeksschiet op = hurry up, but literally it says shoot up17:55
=== Guest66320 is now known as IdleOne
naccso hard to tell if that is trolling...20:34
OerHeksso many lonely people20:37
DArqueBishopI think it's trolling.20:39
DArqueBishopEither that or his son is a gigantic asshole.20:39
DArqueBishopYeah, troll.20:41
OerHekspom pom pom22:14
de-factoMicrosoft aren't forcing Lenovo to block free operating systems http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/44694.html    http://imgur.com/a/niewu22:35
de-factohmm sad to read that, i always thought Lenovo was supporting Linux, well seems that changed :(22:36
OerHeksremoving the ssd, format it, and put it back?22:36
de-facto..."In this specific case, Lenovo's firmware defaults to "RAID" mode and doesn't allow you to change that. Since Linux has no support for the hardware when configured this way, you can't install Linux (distribution installers will boot, but won't find any storage device to install the OS to)."...22:36
OerHeksoh22:37
de-factothe bios wont allow it22:37
de-factogood that i dont own such devices22:37
OerHeksit will be reversed engineered i guess22:38
daxi note that the "Lenovo rep" everyone's talking about is some contractor that answers questions on their forums22:38
daxwhich is not very solid credentials, as things go22:39
de-factoi also read that some lenovo devices wont allow you to exchange hardware (such as ssd/hdd/wlan) because they use some sort of signatures. not sure if that still applies, but if so certainly wouldnt be very user friendly22:42
