Samuel, as per http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP- Pavilion-m6-1000-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5259226/model/5273903 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (F.36). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449621 Title: Connecting to external display turns off laptop screen Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm using HP Pavilion m6 laptop with AMD A10.
