Davie Hodge, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=314652&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=1093 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.20). 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, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.20 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1504111 Title: Constant splash screen error Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I keep getting an error message stating that they are errors in my system files that just seem to happen after a system update ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-66.107-generic 3.13.11-ckt27 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-66-generic i686 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.16 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Thu Oct 8 08:16:15 2015 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] [10de:0221] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Device [196e:02f2] InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-05-13 (147 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20140417) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard hp workstation xw4100 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-66-generic root=UUID=22a76ddb-622f-4ee4-80ec-b2f13d490d04 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 04/01/2004 dmi.bios.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.bios.version: 786B3 v1.18 dmi.board.name: 0868h dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.type: 2 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: HP Minitower dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnHewlett-Packard:bvr786B3v1.18:bd04/01/2004:svnHewlett-Packard:pnhpworkstationxw4100:pvr:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn0868h:rvr:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct2:cvrHPMinitower: dmi.product.name: hp workstation xw4100 dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20150313-0ubuntu1 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.60-2~ubuntu14.04.1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.5 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.5 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.7 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.8.2-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.6 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2 xserver.bootTime: Thu Oct 8 08:02:15 2015 xserver.configfile: default xserver.devices: input Power Button KEYBOARD, id 6 input Power Button KEYBOARD, id 7 input USB Optical Mouse MOUSE, id 8 input Logitech Logitech USB Headset KEYBOARD, id 9 input AT Translated Set 2 keyboard KEYBOARD, id 10 xserver.errors: Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.7 xserver.video_driver: nouveau To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1504111/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
