Those are based on Clevo BareBones which you can find at multiple notebook sellers (Sanger is a pretty well known one too). Tuxedo gets them to you with a Linux preinstalled and though thats a Ubuntu thingie, they offer the script they use for their extra settings as well as extra .debs for stuff they put on, so its easy to take over settings and throw away the preinstalled stuff. With that all of the above works without problems here, even me regularly switching between Laptop Display only, one external and two external Displays attached (autorandr a nice tool here). -- bye, Joerg

This is even more difficult when you are required to choose between
a subset of a particular vendor due to professional rules ("marchés
publiques" in French)

The previous rules make us choose DELL laptop. It worked reasonably
well. For my last laptop, I had to choose a HP one (ZBook 15). It is
a pity. I cannot suspend/restore reliably if I want to use the
NVidia card with the nouveau driver (I never tried the non-free
NVidia one) and not only the Intel card (and, on my laptop, the
external DP port is only wired to the NVidia card...)
I already reported some bugs in the kernel/acpi/nouveau that
have been fixed. But it was 'easy' : these bugs were systematic/
reproducible.
I've to create a new (kernel) bug with the current situation but
it is difficult to do so. The freeze are not systematic, they are
hard freeze (nothing in the logs), generally after a resume.
I'm under the impression they occur in ACPI routines.
Currently, I'm using the 4.7.0-1-amd64 kernel that allows me to
suspend/resume about 10 times between freeze (and hard reboot).
I've to test the 4.9 and 4.10 newly uploaded, but a few days ago,
with the previous versions, the 4.9 and 4.10 were freezing at nearly
each resume.
Two days ago, I ran the Ubuntu firmware tests on this laptop:
Test |Pass |Fail |Abort|Warn |Skip |Info |
---+-+-+-+-+-+-+
[...]
Total: | 981| 195|2| 33| 222| 11|
I think the HP Bios is not really of good quality...

Vincent

Given that with APM nobody expected suspend/resume to work, optimus grafic is a PITA and a waste of money. I have a T420 currently where everything works, we have tons of T460 at work and dont have any issues. There is stuff which does not work - Hot Plug Monitor for example is an issue. With digital ports e.g. HDMI/DVI/DP this typically works out of the box - The new display gets detected - The point is that for me the only desktop which remembered the Display positions was gnome2 - Its broken since then.

Hotkeys for Suspend/Resume get more or less redundant as the typical Desktop environment login/logout procedures contain all the functionality.

Re: "Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?"
Recently bought the newest Dell inspiron. Everything works out of the box. Didn't play much with HDMI. Know fo sure that video works. With recent kernel update (Debian testing) even screen rotation works. I am personally very happy. -Pavlo Solntsev On Fri, Apr 7, 2017 at 2:08 PM, Florian Lohoff wrote: > On Thu, Apr 06, 2017 at 04:07:54PM -0700, Nikolaus Rath wrote: > > Maybe I'm just exceedingly unlucky, but I have yet to find a laptop > > where all of the following works: > > > > - Suspend > > - Hibernate > > - Airplane-mode Hotkey (especially hard apparently) > > - Volume Hotkeys > > - Brightness Hotkeys > > - Suspend/hibernate hotkeys > > - Hot-plug of external monitor > > I have been using IBM/Lenovo T Series for > 15 Years and never had major > issues.
