Canonical today released new updated ISOs of the Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark operating system, to address a error which blocked the BIOS of some laptops.
Several users have reported BIOS issues on the companies' laptops Lenovo, Acer and Toshiba, after the installation from the previous ISO of Ubuntu 17.10. After installation it was impossible to access the BIOS settings.
Others reported that the BIOS was still running with Live ISO DVD, without installing the operating system.
So Canonical has temporarily disabled access to Ubuntu 17.10 ISO file downloads from the official ubuntu.com website. The company released a workaround soon after for existing Ubuntu installations, which requires updating Kernel packages to disable the intel-spi driver on boot.movement.
However, the Ubuntu 17.10 ISO images were released today in all official editions: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu Budgie.
Below are the Ubuntu 17.10.1 ISO
Please note that these ISOs have been updated to restore the problem with the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities.
