Christopher, thank you very much. I have successfully upgraded bios to A15 - the string "A15" is displayed in the boot screen, also dmidecode prints the value:
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version A15 So far everything is working. I will test the setup and post more information. Many thanks again! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1062114 Title: usb behaving strangely (e.g. abrupt mouse movements, usb keyboard loosing key events) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After some boots, the USB mouse behaves strangely (abrupt mouse movements), also, USB keyboard tends to loose some keypresses. This behavior occurs randomly (I can't find out what's causing this) and lasts from the point when lightdm is displayed until the computer is rebooted. This issue never starts to manifest during computer runtime - either it is present right from the Ubuntu start, or it does not occur. The issue is never present in grub menu, in Windows, nor in BIOS menu. Sometimes, the bug manifests in multiple consecutive reboots. Running commands as described here: http://davidjb.com/blog/2012/06/restartreset-usb-in-ubuntu-12-04-without-rebooting fixes the issue (until the following computer boot - not necessarily the very next boot). There is an interesting warning in my dmesg about ignored IRQ 17 - perhaps it is somehow related?
