Comment 4 for bug 1268365

That is an excellent spot, and I apologise - I had recently updated the bios using the lenovo updater utility but it doesn't see this version.

So I am now:

jon@mv8:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-dateGJET67WW (2.17 )
12/10/2013
jon@mv8:~$ date
Sun Jan 12 23:16:56 GMT 2014

However the problem is still happening:
