jacks, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=3785040&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4060 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.26). 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 New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.26 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided =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/1357661 Title: Unable to change video card options Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Actually the Nvidia card is installed but I'm unable to change the parameters ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-34.60-generic 3.13.11.4 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-34-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.1: ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.3 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Sat Aug 16 09:48:03 2014 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bbswitch, 0.7, 3.13.0-34-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-331, 331.38, 3.13.0-34-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:3035] Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:3035] NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630] [10de:0f00] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
