• Lenovo Thinkpad W540 + Ubuntu 15.10 = FAIL
• 2015.11.07, 13:36
• Spent a few miserable hours trying to boot Ubuntu 15.10 (and XUbuntu 15.10) on Lenovo W540. I even upgraded my BIOS. No go. I can get it to boot to desktop by setting "acpi=off noapic nolapic", but that's hardly success: keyboard does not work, it can't shut down, etc.
  
  I tried also booting in UEFI-only mode, but that hangs in different places, not sure if it's nouveau driver's fault or something else. Should try in "vga only" mode sometime. If ever. Let's wait to 16.04 I guess. Because I have 14.04 working perfectly, it's only getting old: Java8 is not packaged for it, etc etc.
