[06:07] <ubottu> bug 1734147: team is akxwi-dave, bluesabre, dkessel, flocculant, jjfrv8, knome, krytarik, ochosi, pleia2, slickymaster and Unit193
[06:08] <flocculant> respins for 17.10 will appear, updated our release note to make note of this
[06:08] <flocculant> we'll need to do some testing and then release when the time comes
[06:12] <flocculant> might be a idea to social media this 
[11:02] <bluesabre> flocculant: wow, that's bad
[11:03] <JackFrost> But oh so...OK, so not fun either.
[11:37] <knome> ugh
[17:42] <flocculant> mmm
[17:47] <flocculant> immediate question is do we disable downloads - if nothing else we could do so from getxubuntu
[17:47] <flocculant> or at least put some warning on that page
[17:47] <flocculant> knome: ^^
[17:58] <flocculant> re -release : 'investigation is still in progress of a runtime recovery of the issue' 
[20:06] <ali1234> that's a nasty bug. why is it writing to the bios at all? the docs for the driver say it is set to read only by default. accidentally writing anything seems like it should be quite unlikely
