Ubuntu 17.10 is now available again for download

Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark

Good and seizing the moment, of last resort Canonical has again made the ISO of its operating system available to the public Ubuntu in its latest stable version which is 17.10, this because in previous days he had removed the link from his download site of this.
All this mess was caused due to a failure that the system had and compromised the integrity of some Lenovo computers that were harmed when installing the Canonical system on their computers.

But in case you didn't know something about it, let me summarize the matter for you. A little over a few weeks ago (during the month of December), the team of Canonical detected a serious bug in Ubuntu 17.10, which affected to the models most recent of the brand Lenovo and some ACER models.

In the best case This detected error affected the computer during installation which caused the BIOS to get corrupted, preventing saving configuration changes and in the worst case, this error prevented the USB boot of our hardware leaving our team like a pretty paperweight.

However This problem has already been solved and as of today we can have the system again to be able to download it directly from the official website.

If you were any of those affected, browsing the web, I found a solution, I must tell you that it requires advanced knowledge, so it is up to you if you want to do this.

I leave you the link, where a user shares us in the Lenovo support forums, the solution to this Ubuntu 17.10 failure, the link is this.

By doing this, we can re-flash the BIOS of our computer and revert the changes that affected the computer.
Without more, if you know any other method, do not hesitate to share it with us.

    I was able to solve it this way: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147 on a Lenovo. Maybe someone will use it.
