Hi Dave, I'm enjoying my laptop of this type without any major issues. I may list only few inconveniences with it: 1) To install Ubunto (be it 11.10 or 12.04 daily iso) you need to set "nomodeset" in GRUB to get installer working and install proprietary nVidia drivers. As you get it (nVidia drivers installed) you'll get system up and running generally without issues. 2) There're known issues with Unity in pair with nVidia proprietar drivers: "Unity launcher corruption on resume from suspend " https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/915265 "Resume from suspend takes much more time when nvidia-current driver is installed." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/828761 3) If you need fingerprint reader - it won't work. No support in "libfprint" "Fingerprint reader Validity Sensors not recognized" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/790183
All other HW devices working properly if I didn't miss something. Hope it helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864739 Title: Ubuntu doesn't work on HP Elitebook 8560w To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/864739/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
