| syed_776588 | Hey all. I could use some help. So I had Xubuntu and Windows 7 on dual boot on an ideapad laptop. I had a headphone jack issue and official support told me to update the BIOS which I did. Now when I booted Xubuntu next time and rebooted the whole thing became excruciatingly slow. The bios screen would stare me for more than three minutes. Any actio | 14:27 |
| syed_776588 | n like "entering setup" or using a boot device using F2/F12 would take almost as long. | 14:27 |
| syed_776588 | Now I erased Xubuntu and fixed grub running boot-repair from a live ubuntu session. The problem persisted and almost felt like it got worse. The boot takes an upwards of 5 minutes now from leaving the BIOS screen alone. As mentioned before, any other action like F2/F12 takes the same amont of time | 14:28 |
| syed_776588 | So what I'm asking is, will clean installing Ubuntu and erasing everything fix the problem? | 14:29 |
| diogenes_ | syed_776588, unfortunately that is not os problem but bios or hdd, to rule out hdd you could try to boot without hdd. | 14:30 |
| syed_776588 | Well the thing is that I can't rollback BIOS either. Official support tells me that it's a bad idea (they don't offer older bios versions in any case). They tell me to use the official recovery tool OneKey recovery which I can't use because it needs a "hidden partition" which I apparently don't have. | 14:32 |
| syed_776588 | So... what should I do? I just want to use Linux on this crappy laptop, I just kept Windows for running some stuff which I don't need right now. I sold my PC and I'm pretty much broke. I could deal with slow boot but this is something else; sometimes the BIOS lingers on for five minutes... | 14:34 |
