Ubuntu Installation :: Envy 14 And The ATI Driver?
Apr 21, 2011
I recently bought a new Envy 14. The Envy 14 has switchable graphics which i figured would give me a problem. I am trying to get Ubuntu 10.10 onto it and have almost achieved it. I am able to load Ubuntu live and then install it. Everything including sound and wireless work perfectly out of the box. The issue comes when I try to install the ATI proprietary drivers. The drivers install and then when i restart it boots to a command prompt. When i run fglrxinfo (i think that was the command) it tells me it can't detect a graphics card. Any help would be awesome. I would love to run Linux on this laptop (running windows for 2 months has been painful).

The fan noise caused by my HP envy 15 when I'm using OpenSuse 11.3. When the computer is under W7 there is almost no fan noise. In OpenSuse, however, every three or two minutes the fan goes very loud. It sounds as if the machine were doing hard processing work when it is just surfing and doing office stuff.
Another issue is the battery consumption, I already tried the power option but the under OpenSuse the machine eats the battery in almost half of the time than under W7. it stands for just one hour under OpenSuse, when it uses two in W7. These machine comes with a core i7 and an ATI graphic card.

I own an HP Envy 14 [url]. Letting Ubuntu (or any Linux) attempt to boot into a Live CD without changing any parameters results in a black screen, but with everything else working (for Ubuntu, that means the login sound is played). I've discovered that putting nomodeset in the kernel line will allow me to get so far as a command line, but I can't startx from here (I get "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration."). I think my issues have something to do with the dual/switchable graphics in my laptop.

I have problem with several usb devices plugged to laptop HP Envy 17 n120nd, new laptop with Skylake. Because of the Skylake I have Debian Testing installed (instead of Windows, hence no dual boot). The problem is as follows. When I plug an usb device such as memory stick, usb storage and wired mouse, none of them are detected, despite the fact that lights of these devices are on (except the mouse as I will explain later).
But when I reboot the laptop, while the usb devices stay plugged in the laptop, then they usually are detected (hence not always) and works without problem. Except the mouse: after completing the reboot the light of the mouse went off, indicating that there is no power. Replugging the mouse results in power for the mouse and it works like a charm too.
What can be the cause? And, maybe more important. I contacted HP, but they give no support for Linux.

I'm trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 on my machine (I had the same problem with Kubuntu 9.04). The machine is:
- Core 2 Quad 6600
- Nvidia 7600 GS
- Two disk seagate 500 in mirroring raid software
When I try to install Kubuntu, after disk partition, my system dosn't see the CD. He tell me to insert disk into drive but I doesn't touch it. I resolved this mounting an external hard disk into /cdrom. After this, the installation continues until the step "select and install software". At this step, the installation procedure tell me an error. During this error, in the other console, I've this:
Code:
Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: Alcuni pacchetti non possono essere installati. Questo può voler dire
Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: che è stata richiesta una situazione impossibile oppure, se si sta
Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: usando una distribuzione in sviluppo, che alcuni pacchetti richiesti

I have been bashing my head against the keyboard for over 6 hours now i just got a brand new asus ul30v it uses Nvidia geforce G 210M.
I went straight to installing ubuntu 10.10 on the whole disc. when the installation was complete i was happy and logged in. only seconds after i logged in i was promted that i was recomended to install a driver for my graphic card, for 3d and such. so i followed the installation and was asked to reboot. so i did. but then ubuntu booted straight into fullscreen terminal.
While being in this terminal i have tried to purge and reinstall GDM amongst endless other things, including rebooting several times.
Not being able to do anything about it, i reinstalled, and repeated the installation of the driver. same story over again.
Bottom line is i have rebooted close to 30 times, and reinstalled over 5 times. ive tried installing from the terminal (excactly the same story). tried to download it from their homepage, then install it (couldn't install it because i had to turn off driver X and "terminate all OpenGL applications", wich i dont know how to do. tried googling it, but ended up worse than before..[url]
Im guessing i cant install the driver at all with ubuntu 10.10? i havent tried it with older ubuntu versions because, of course, i wanted the newest version.
I have barely been using ubuntu before, although i've had it dualbooted.
I have found alot of posts with people getting stuck in terminal on boot, but none of the solutions that worked for them worked for me, probably because they had different problems than me.

If I were to have a situation where I had installed the driver for a printer but when I went into printing on the control panel to "add" the printer the driver didn't show up - could I or should I consider manually editing some configuration file to get the printer recognized/ installed on the machine? If that were a good solution, how would I do it? What file would I look for? What would I edit in it? I know that first sentence is probably hard to read but I don't know how else to say it.

I would like to know if anyone has installed the latest NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) which is 256.35 (x86_64).
I am currently having some problem (unstable) with the previous release 195.36.31 (x86_64) and am now considering updating; but, am still reluctant because of possible problems during the installation process.

As I mentioned before, I has having freezes while installing F12 (x86_64) with a GeForce 8600 GT. I was able to complete the installation by doing it with the "basic" video driver. However, I was still getting frequent freezes. I installed the testing Nvidia drivers, and the freezes went away. When it froze, it was a hard freeze -- it wouldn't respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL or SysRq (I did enable SysRq first). I had to do a hard reset.

I'm new to Fedora and just installed F10 yesterday. Everything was perfect, no snags at all, until I used the software tool to install the ATI drivers. Now my computer boots but instead of going back to the GUI all I get is a gray screen. I've tried everything I know to get to the command line so I can go back to my old X11 settings but there's no response -just the gray screen.
I'd prefer not to have to reinstall if I could avoid it. Is there a know bug with either a Toshiba Satellite A210 series laptop or the ATI Radeon Mobility X1300 graphics card? Since I'm not able to get to the command line, I don't know of a way to diagnose what's failing.

I'm new to Fedora and just installed the latest version on my Compaq Presario CQ56. Everything except for the WirelessLan seems to be working. The driver is missing, which I've already downloaded and when trying to run the "make" command it tries to cd into the following directory:/lib/modules/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686/build
whereas the build folder is actually a dangling symlink which it for some reason can't access. Is there anything I can do to solve this issue?

I am using my ATI Radeon 9550 display card but just can't adjust it to 1920x1080 resolution in ubuntu 9.10. I can't even start ATI Catalyst Control Center and i believe there is something wrong with the driver. When i try to start ATI Catalyst this message pop up "There was a problem initilizing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig."
Everything works fine in Ubuntu 8.10.

A few days ago I installed 10.04 Lucid beta-2 and it came up OK. I then chose the recommended Nvidia driver "version current", which caused my system to come up in low graphics mode. I removed the driver and the system came up with no X11. I gave up.Yesterday I installed again, hoping that newer updates would fix the problem. The boot is now OK with no proprietary driver activated and all updates installed as of now (April 14, 05:30 GMT).
The Hardware Drivers dialog shows two choices: Nvidia version 173 and "version current (recommended)". Both of these show the status "this driver is activated but not currently in use". The only option offered is the button "remove".

I installed my version of 10.10 with the VMWare Player Auto Installer, and I know when you install Ubuntu 10.10 it asks if you want to install the proprietary drivers.The install must have said no to this question. Is there anyway without re-installing of getting back to this question?

I just upgraded to 11.04 a couple days ago, and it didn't go smoothly because I ran out of space, so I had to pause it and grow a partition.
When I got done there were several problems. One of them is that my nvidia proprietary driver is no longer being used. I found it in "additional drivers" and activated it, but it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system. This driver is activated but not currently in use."
I can run the nvidia control panel just fine, and write an xorg.conf file, but after I reboot the above message stays the same.
My xorg.conf file says to use the nvidia driver. My Xorg.0.log shows the nvidia board coming up what seems to be normally.
The "appearance" control panel doesn't even have the special effects tab anymore.

I installed Ubuntu 11.04, and everything was fine before I installed the graphics drivers for my ATI Radeon HD 6850 card. After that, doing things like moving windows, dragging on the desktop, etc. are really laggy.

I installed the 4gb persistent version to a usb drive to use on a emachines netbook with 250gb hard drive. Everything worked great from USB had the wireless going and all. Decided to install it to the HDD, followed the steps at the Ubuntu start menu, install from USB. Followed all recommended procedures during install, split the HDD in Half (the only thing on there was windows 7 just bought this thing) at the partition window.
Ubuntu loads fine but when trying to load the wireless driver as before with the usb it doesnt activate. I have to enter in a password, it seems to accept it, a download screen comes up, I see keys going over to the wireless icon and....nothing.
Then tried to load up windows 7...uh oh. I see windows 7 and a windows vista os at the initial option screen. I selected windows 7 and it brought me back, so I selected windows vista and now it is having me recover. I chose the basic recovery first hoping it was due to moving the partition. It is recovering now but I am really worried if it's going to work again as windows 7, vista ?, wipe out Ubuntu or what!
Also, already rebooted Ubuntu a couple times, no luck with driver install

i have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Dell XPS M1530. Previously, i got the bcmwl proprietary driver to work when i was trying the live cd. for some reason, when i installed it however, it did not work the same. when ubuntu booted when i installed it, it did not sense the proprietary driver. so i went in to the ubuntu disc itself and got the bcmwl driver and the dkms packages. so i try to install both of them with dpkg -i as root. dkms installed successfully, however, the bcmwl driver gave me this:
root@Ryan-PC:/home/ryan/Desktop# dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 122807 files and directories currently installed.)
