I'm having trouble accessing the BIOS on boot in 17.10, no commands work or shown during boot sequence.
I have earlier and for other reasons disabled wayland and boot with xorg.



Let me tell you what I'm actually trying to do, in case this evokes comment also.
I've installed VMware player, and trying to install virtual Windows 7.
I get this error:




This host supports Intel VT-x, but Intel VT-x is disabled.Intel VT-x might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.



(1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable Intel VT-x and disable 'trusted execution.'



(2) Power-cycle the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.



(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Player.



(4) Update the host's BIOS/firmware to the latest version.



This host does not support "Intel EPT" hardware assisted MMU virtualization.



Module 'CPUIDEarly' power on failed.



Failed to start the virtual machine.




Other forum threads suggest this can be edited in BIOS.
I've never tried to enter BIOS yet in 17.10
I've tried Esc, Del, F2, F8, F10, F12, and others.



Is there any way to determine with certainty which key or steps will open BIOS?
Is there any command to set machine to restart one time only directly into BIOS settings?



Thanks for any help.

    the BIOS has nothing to do with Ubuntu. You have to press one of those keys right after powering on your PC before Ubuntu boots. The screen should tell you.

    See askubuntu.com/questions/392446/… for how to find more about the BIOS from inside Ubuntu. Use the dmidecode command to find the vendor and version of your BIOS. Then Google <vendor name> how to enter bios to find which key you have to press to get into your BIOS.

How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
