| lotuspsychje | !lenovobug | 06:25 |
| ubottu | The original release of Ubuntu 17.10 contained a bug that makes firmware memory read-only. See https://pad.lv/1734147 for more info. This bug has been fixed in 17.10's repositories (so upgrades are safe) and a new set of ISOs have been released (look for 17.10.1 in the filename). | 06:25 |
| lotuspsychje | all is good to go dax :p | 06:25 |
| dax | !-lenovobug | 06:27 |
