Thread: Lenovo Z580 and other Lenovo laptops

-

there several threads mentioning same problem: ubuntu booting after huge delay of 20 minutes. seems boils down lenovo laptops, many of them variant of z580.
seems ubuntu based distributions (maybe debian too?) have got problem firmware / bios handling battery. removing battery before boot solves problem, 1 has have power cord plugged in. after boot battery can put in , fine.
more elegant solution has been posted here:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093217/comments/63

however, feel ubuntu being popular distro , many of users happen new linux or @ least not technical, there should simpler solution compiling , diving depth of grub configuration files. after all, distros opensuse 12.2 &12.3 , fuduntu boot without problem. due differences in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dsdt files?

have tried several months , hoping ubuntu 13.04 might solve issue, doesn't. since have been working mint & ubuntu years now, prefer distros on opensuse, has come long way in ease of use. way things done , choice of software in repositories ubuntu & mint makes favorites.

idea can done?

completely agree. i've been having same experience z580 , hoping new kernel in ubuntu 13.4 make difference.

on bug tracking thread referred to, there seemed ray of hope here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...7/comments/103

in recent update, same author less positive things: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...7/comments/107

issue still not assigned anyone, i'm not optimistic proper fix while

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
