[Bug 1221264] Re: [Asus UX31A] Missing font booting 3.8.0-30.44

 

How do I install the BIOS upgrade? I have the files UX31AAS.219 and
UX31AAS219.zip on a USB drive but in the BIOS menu I only get EFI drive
with ubuntu directory with nothing in it.

Furthermore, it worked properly with the previous kernel and the BIOS
upgrade is only referring to "Update thermal policy" so I am also a bit
hesitated to upgrade it is not needed.

Title:
  [Asus UX31A] Missing font booting 3.8.0-30.44

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When booting 3.8.0-30.44 the font is missing and only bounding boxes
  are show. This is very annoying, expecially when using encrypted
  system and your passphrase is being asked.

  It was okay with the previous kernel on 13.04. This was reported for ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A. Please let me know what logs I can supply to have this fixed quickly.
