Sep 5, 2010I tried to do a clean install of 10.04 on the above desktop. It was previously running 9.10 fine.
I booted with a 10.04 live CD, used Gparted to delete the previous partition that 9.10 was in. Installed 10.04 and chose the option to install in the largest continuous free disc space.
The installation seemed to go fine, but when I re-start the system, GRUB loads, I select Linux, then I get a flashing cursor and the monitor goes to sleep as it shows like it is getting no signal.
When I boot Vista on the same system it works fine.
From the sound of the hard drive, I am guessing that it is not loading the Ubuntu OS, I don't think this is a video driver problem.
Ubuntu :: Installed Kubuntu With Wubi For Windows 7 On My Hp Pavilion Dv6 - System Continued To Freeze After Some Minutes Due To Overheating ?
Jul 22, 2011today i've installed kubuntu with wubi for windows 7 on my hp pavilion dv6 with processor Intel Core i7 Q720 @1.60GHz with 4 Gb of RAM @ 64bit with NVIDIA Geforce GT 230M but i've had some problems.Infact the system continued to freeze after some minutes due to overheating so i restarted the computer and the Bios told me that to prevent damage to internal components the computer has been freezed. I repeated the process and i checked out the temperature with the desktop widget and it actually reached after some minutes 80-85� C so i cleaned the computer and the temperature turned back to normal (50-60�C) but the problem continued to exist! After several minutes the computer freezed again and the BIOS told me the same things he told me before (90� and computer freezed due to prevent damage for overheating).

Jan 23, 2011I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but I've had Maverick installed for a few days and haven't had any sound output to go along with it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled pulse and alsa a few times over, with no success. Here are my aplay and lspci outputs:
aplay -l

SOLVED: Via terminal: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf At the very end, add a line which says: options snd-hda-intel model=touchsmart
It seems like depending on your type of computer, all you need to do to fix many of the sound issues is change "touchsmart" to whatever you are using (laptop, toshiba, etc.).
Fedora Hardware :: HP Touchsmart TX2 Touchscreen Doesn't Work On FC12
Feb 9, 2010I just switched from FC10 to FC12, and much to my dismay, the touchscreen no longer works. I wasn't able to find a solution on the web, hopefully some gentle soul will answer my problem. The hardware is recognised correctly, because
Code:
hexdump /dev/hidraw0
gives an output when I over the stylus over the screen.
Note: I used hexdump because I couldn't find the wacdump utility anymore. Has it disappeared?
I played with HAL rules so that the appropriate wacom driver is loaded for the tablet. I modified /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-synaptics.fdi, taken from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi, as follow (to avoid trying to load Synaptics driver for the touchpad feature of the tablet):

Ubuntu :: HP Touchsmart Tm2 - Synaptics Touchpad Is Unusable - Change The Brightness Will Kill The Screen
Dec 17, 2010I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and encountered several issues.
1. The Synaptics touchpad is nearly unusable. It is impossible to drag while holding down a button. The cursor will move randomly across the screen instead. It is impossible to right click; a right click is treated like a left click. Double-tapping the dot in the corner does not disable the touchpad.
2. Attempting to change the brightness will kill the screen. The computer is still functioning, and it is possible to perform tasks "blind." Only the screen becomes completely blank.
3. Ubuntu does not always boot up reliably. When it does not, the screen is blank but the computer is otherwise responding.
4. The screen is black after suspend.
5. The computer will sometimes hang when shutting down (showing desktop background). Possibly related messages in dmesg:

Fedora :: F12 On HP Pavilion Laptop
Mar 21, 2010Atlast after a long time thinking and concerns I made it ... installed F12 on HP Pavilion using a LIVE CD ... I got a AMD turion 64 X2 with a NVIDIA graphics card (7200M this is what it says in VISTA) I am more than satisfied with F12 on my HP ... this is first time I am using Linux on LAPTOP and my previous usage is purely on desktops and have some good touch with F9 and still continuing with it. I have few doubts At present I guess I am using Nouveau drivers for my Nvidia graphics card. But I hear from communities people complaining of HIGH TEMPERATURES as open source drivers for NVIDIA are not good enough (NVIDIA doesnt release much info on them). So should I change my NVIDIA drivers to proprietary one? Any tips or gnome settings on LAPTOPS to best utilize all the resources without burning out things?

Jul 12, 2011I wonder if anybody could possibly help me with my new laptop. I bought a new HP Pavilion DV7-4150ea about a month ago with windows 7 x64 cough cough, hate windows and would love to be able to get Ubuntu 11.04 working on my laptop or any other version that will be ok.
What happens, when I install either live usb or install to hard drive from DVD, it locks up when I do a restart or shut down, it all seems OK until then.
Could it be the video cards installed on this laptop, as there is two 1 x 1GB ATI Mobility HD 5650 and 1 x Intel HD Graphics. Any help would be great as I love Linux and prefer it to windows every time.
If you need more info then please ask, love to get this working with linux.

Mar 22, 2011I did a clean install, replacing 11.3 with 11.4 (BTW, why couldn't 11.4 recognize a ext4 partition??). When I boot, the cursor is a garbage block in the center of the screen. When I move, the cursor disappears. The display never progresses past the splash and no progress bar appears. When I boot in safemode, it works, but the display is slow and jerky. This is such a show stopper for me that I had to revert to 11.3 which does not like my touchpad.

Apr 3, 2010I have an HP Pavilion laptop running Kubuntu 9.10. The sound worked at one point, but somewhere along the line it broke. When I test the sound in the system settings panel, I get nothing. No errors, no sound. I checked KMix and alsamixer. All channels are unmuted and turned up. I've also tried the headphone jack, and there's no sound there, either. It works fine if I boot into Windows. Here's the output from alsa-info.sh: [URL]... I would also like Amarok to work, too. I had problems in the past getting it to output sound.

Ubuntu :: Wireless Not Working On HP Pavilion DM4
Aug 23, 2010I installed lucid lynx on my hp pavilion dm4 laptop, very happy with it. My wireless is not working though (I have ethernet working), I have looked for drivers for the Broadcom card that's supposed to pick it up, the light is orange. I have seen that many people have this problem, tried their solutions to no avail. I have ndiswrapper installed and have found some drivers that detect the hardware, still not getting wireless.
This is my output lshw -C network output:

Ubuntu :: Touchpad On Pavilion Dm4 - Can't Right Click
Nov 28, 2010Excuse the horrid formatting, this was copy/pasted from the #ubuntu IRC and to be extremely honest I can't be bothered to remove every space. I have a Pavilion dm4 and it has two areas on the bottom of the touchpad to designate right and left clicks. This mostly doesn't work on Ubuntu in the fact that it recognizes any taps on either tap zone as a left click. Instead, I have it set so if I tap anywhere on the pad it makes a left click. There should be, and there are, many ways in the mouse configuration window to simulate a right click using only a touchpad. None of these work. Changing mouse orientation doesn't do anything, "dwell click" also does nothing,
and, the oddest part of this problem, whenever I try to turn "Simulated Secondary Click" off (it doesn't work anyways, but just to try to toggle it), the entire theme of my desktop changes to a gray Windows '95ey look. The only way to get rid of this is to close and reopen the mouse preferences window.My computer is fairly new and the Ubuntu installation is less than a day old. I didn't do anything that I think could cause this. The problem is that I can't right click. Afterword: I installed two scripts from [URL]. They didn't do anything I couldn't already do, and they did not make it possible for me to right click.

Apr 23, 2010Recently I tried to install openSUSE 11.2 on my HP Pavilion dv6-2125tx notebook PC which comes preloaded with Windows7. I used a DVD to install the openSUSE. Before installation, I created partitions on my hard drive for root, /home and swap by shrinking the C volume. This is the only way to create partitions on my laptop. I used NTFS filesystem during format of these partitions. During installation, the first error message that appeared was YaST error saying that it could not format the partitions though it was allowing me to set mount points and filesystems for the partitions I had created. The next problem was swap. I was not able to see the mount point and F (for format) for the swap partition. However when I continued by ignoring the warning for swap there was a partition for swap and it was the same partition I wanted to have for swap. So, I clicked the Install button. The next problem was grub error 17: cannot mount the partition. And then when I continued ignoring this too, the computer did not get any of the OSes saying that BOOTMGR (BOOT MANAGER) is missing. I had no options left but to recover it using recovery disks of my laptop.I searched a bit on the internet and found that grub error 17 happens if the corresponding partition exists but the filesystem is not recognized by the GRUB.
I concluded that it was happening bacause YaST was unable to format any of partitions with the filesystem selected. So in my next attempt, I formatted the partitions in FAT32 filesystem in Windows which I think GRUB can recognize. I did that because even if YAST would be unable to format the partition the filesystem could be recognized by GRUB.And I think that happened but I got a new error this time.The grub error 22.Now I don't know what to do. One thing that I am expecting is that my hard drive cannot be partitioned in the correct way for linux. I can only shrink the volume and create logical partitions only from one dynamic partition c. And that may be the reason YaST could not format the partitions in the correct filesystem and inturn the grub error is happening.
OpenSUSE Network :: Setting Up Wireless On HP Pavilion Dv5?
Jan 25, 2010I've just installed OpenSUSE 11.2 w/KDE interface on a HP Pavilion dv5-1010us laptop.Now we're trying to get the wireless to work. It's got a built-in wireless adapter, but we're not sure what kind of adapter it is. HP's Website is no help there. According to another site, it's an Intel WifiLink 5100. I did download the wireless driver from the HP site, but it's a .exe file. Anyone had any luck setting up this or a similar HP laptop. I couldn't find this model on the HCL/Laptops/HP - openSUSE page, but it seems OpenSUSE supports wireless other HP Pavilion models.

Jun 26, 2010I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, a rather new HP Pavilion dv6-2044el. Windows 7 is already installed, so I've tried "installation inside Windows". I have been using Ubuntu for at least a couple of years, and this is the first time there is no way to complete an installation : The process halts after restarting the system. A few months ago I managed to install Ubuntu 9.10 on this laptop without any trouble, before disinstalling it. I have tried:
ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso both from a CD and an USB flash drive, always with the same frustrating result. I tried also to install 9.10 first and then upgrade to 10.4, but the upgrade didn't work either. Today I even tried Maverick Meerkat (maverick-desktop-i386.iso) from a USB flash drive, but it also halted during the process.

Ubuntu Networking :: HP Pavilion DV6 With Broadcom BCM4312
Sep 4, 2010I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and Linux OS in general, hope this hasn't already been solved but after trying for 24hrs+ I think it may be time for me to start my own thread (sorry if there is already one). I have been desperately trying to get my Broadcom BCM4312 wireless card to work and after searching about 100 sites and threads I still can't get it going Here are some of the problems Ive been having(I am running Ubuntu 8.04 by the way):
1. Tried installing "Broadcom STA Wireless Driver" under System->Administration->hardware drivers but after install it didn't show any signs of working.
2. I tried getting the Linux driver off the website [URL]... and followed the instructions in the readme to the letter, yet when i am asked to type in one of the final commands: # sudo insmod wl.ko
I get the output: # error inserting 'wl.ko': -1 File exists I have also looked at this website where a guy posts the same problem but no one posted anything back: [URL]...
